The Irish Muslim Council — Comhairle Mhoslamach na hÉireann and the Gaelic Athletic Association are pleased to announce that the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha will be celebrated with the performance of the Eid prayers and a cross-community event in Ireland’s iconic national stadium, Croke Park once again this year.
| Date | 9 or 10 July 2022 |
| Time | 08.30-10:00 (gates open 07.45) |
| Venue | Croke Park, Dublin |
| Tickets | Free |
Please note there are two types of tickets for this year’s event:
Prayer Tickets are for attendees who wish to pray the Eid prayers and will be seated in the prayer rows on the pitch. Those wishing to pray must bring their own prayer mats to avoid damage to the pitch.
Guest Tickets are for attendees who do not wish to pray the Eid prayers, but merely to join the crowd to observe the Eid prayers and hear the speeches and performances afterwards. Guests will be seated in the lower tier of the Hogan Stand.
Previous year’s events (taking place in 2020 and 2021) have been joyous and inspiring occasions, and this year’s event promises to be the best yet, with the Eid prayers being followed by speeches from invited faith, civil and political leaders, along with performances from spoken word artists, nashid singers and the stars of last year’s programme, the Islamic Centre of Ireland Children’s Choir.
The date for this year’s event will only be confirmed nearer the time (upon the sighting of the crescent moon and the confirmation of this year’s Hajj pilgrimage), but we can confirm it will take place at 08:30 (gates open 07:45) on either Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th July 2022 at Croke Park, Dublin.
