Welcome to Open Iftar!

Open Iftar is the place where you can find and participate in Open Iftar events in your neighborhood, and post your Open Ifar event for others to find. You can follow an event or an event organizer, rate the events you participate in, and share tips with other Open Iftar members.

Iftar is breaking fast at sunset after a day of fasting. Traditionally this meal is shared by families, neighbors and friends who get together to break fast and enjoy each others company. Our goal is to revive this tradition, and to help neighbors get to know each other through connecting with their local communities.
