"The Final Queer Iftar" (28th March 2025)

You are warmly and wholeheartedly invited to join Queer Muslim Naarm’s Final Queer Iftar in the vibrant and welcoming neighbourhood of Abbotsford! We create an inclusive space where people can come together during Ramadan. Our Iftar gatherings are open to everyone, whether you identify as Muslim, culturally Muslim, Queer Muslim ally, or simply an individual who wants to partake in the tradition of breaking fast and celebrating community. 

We’ll be offering a delectable array of dishes from various regions worldwide, complemented by a delightful assortment of savoury and sweet treats. Our menu boasts a rich and diverse selection of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, South Asian cuisine, North African cuisine, and South East Asian cuisines: flavours from Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

This is a community celebration of cultural diversity and inclusivity, and we invite you to bring a halal dish to share, making this gathering even more special as we celebrate the unique flavours that each of us brings to the table. As we gather to break bread, let us also come together in our shared stories, laughter, and spirit. We have an exciting lineup of live performances from our community, celebrating the vibrant richness of our diverse cultures. We encourage everyone to wear their traditional attire to honour the beauty and uniqueness of each of our culture and identity.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of community, joy, and reflection. We can’t wait to share this final Iftar with you, your presence will make it even more meaningful!

Venue details will be shared via email on Friday, March 28th at 11AM. To ensure a meaningful and memorable evening for everyone, we encourage you to register and RSVP early. Registration will close on March 27th at 11PM.

We charge a nominal fee to attendees to ensure their commitment to the event and catering arrangements. The profits generated from ticket sales will be allocated to various minor logistical expenses, including volunteer transportation costs, additional catering needs, and other related expenses. This approach allows us to provide a better experience for everyone involved while supporting our dedicated volunteers! 

If you experience any issues with purchasing your ticket or if the cost is a barrier, please feel free to reach out to us at queermuslimnaarm@gmail.com, and we will be happy to assist you.

Queer Muslim Naarm is a vibrant collective that fosters a supportive and inclusive community for Queer Muslims and their allies. Through events like Queer Iftars, we creates space to celebrate diverse traditions, share stories, and build connections. The initiative combats isolation caused by intersecting identities and promotes belonging, open dialogue, and mutual support. By embracing and affirming each individual’s unique journey, it encourages a deeper understanding and appreciation of the community’s diverse experiences.

Queer Iftar gatherings are made possible with the generous support of Thorne Harbour Health, Switchboard Victoria, Mr Joe Ball - Victorian LGBTQIA+ Commissioner, Drummond Street Services, Transgender Victoria, Queen Victoria Women Centre, Darebin City Council and Yarra City Council.

Queer Muslim Naarm would like to acknowledge that this event, and all of the work that we undertake as a crew happens on stolen land. We wish to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation are the traditional custodians of this land. We pay respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal Land.
