The 13th Annual ICMG Street Iftar was held on Saturday 23rd April, with over 2,000 Melbournians in attendance.

The ICMG Street Iftar included warm iftar packs, guest speakers from the local government, community leaders, and a family friendly festive atmosphere with sweet and refreshments stalls, and even an Ottoman-inspired oriental cushion corner serving tasty freshly brewed Turkish Coffee.

Muslim and non-Muslim residents from all over Melbourne started gathering just after 4:30pm to join the festive annual event. Over 2,200 free warm iftar packs were prepared by ICMG volunteers and were served to guests. After receiving the iftar packs, most of the guests broke their fast under the beautifully decorated mosque courtyard, some took them back home to their families, whilst others enjoyed a picnic-like iftar at the nearby park.

The food and event were generously funded by our major sponsors and community members.

 “We missed having the Street Iftar for two years due to Covid. Praise be to Allah; he has given us the opportunity to host this successful program bringing our community together and allowing us to serve them. I would like to congratulate and thank all our volunteers – our brothers and sisters in their management of this major event,” said Ramazan Otkun, President of ICMG Australia.

Special thanks to our major sponsors: Tek Foods, Lawson Sideloader Services, Ilim College, Say Blinds, Varsan Steelworks, Imaj Curtains & Blinds, Geo Movers and Sofra Home.
