Our neighbors at the Somali Adult Literacy Tutoring group (SALT) on McKnight are joining with other organizations to hold a celebration of the Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al Ahab) that will include a festival at Harriet Island. After prayer services, groups from the Somali, Hmong, Spanish and Karen cultures will be showcasing crafts and dancing starting at 2:30p.
For a $10 fee per family, folks can enjoy the cultural displays and also participate in face painting, games, sports, bounce castles, rock climbing, drawing, sack races, and much more. There will be snacks available, too.
The Feast of the Sacrifice celebrates the story of Abraham and Isaac - a story of faith shared among Muslims, Christians and Jews.
What a perfect chance to celebrate both our commonalities and our distinctiveness!
Join the festivities, Friday, October 26 starting at 2:30p at Harriet Island.
