You're Invited!

An Evening of Community, Culture & Celebration

The Palestinian Community of Western Australia (PCWA) warmly invites you to join us for a joyful evening of togetherness as we mark the 2025 Eid Al-Adha. Come along for an event filled with fun, family activities, and special surprises that celebrate our shared heritage and unity.

Let’s come together to honour our roots, strengthen our bonds, and celebrate Palestine — and each other!

What’s the Occasion?

Eid Al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," is a significant Islamic celebration observed by Palestinians and Muslims worldwide. It commemorates Prophet Abraham’s devotion and willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, in obedience to God.

In Palestine, this holiday is marked by deep traditions: visiting loved ones, prayer, shared meals, and the joy of community.

What’s Happening?

This month’s Community Unity Event will be a Family Dinner Special, designed to bring us closer through culture, connection, and celebration. Expect an evening full of meaningful moments and joyful activities, including:

🎨 Palestinian arts & crafts (including lolly box decorating)
🎲 Interactive family games
📸 A photo corner to capture the spirit of the evening
🎁 …and a few surprises along the way!

🧁 Sweet Sharing Invitation 🧁

If you’d like to show off your homemade Eid ka'ak or favourite sweets, we’d love for you to bring them along to share! Nothing brings people together like dessert from the heart.
