Hosted by the Islamic Center of Yorba Linda, the family-friendly event is scheduled from 1 to 10 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the OC Fair and Events Center. Open to all, general admission tickets cost $15 per person, with free entry for children under five. The festival includes an outdoor carnival with rides, games, and vendors offering savory dishes, beverages and desserts from Afghan, Palestinian, Egyptian, Yemeni and Pakistani cuisines.<\/p>\n

Eid al-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates the prophet Abraham, a figure central to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, for his willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. The Muslim holiday is expected to begin on May 27. Families typically attend their local mosque for a communal prayer before exchanging gifts and visiting friends and family.<\/p>\n

Ticket entry to Saturday\u2019s festival includes access to live performances from popular Muslim musicians, including nasheed artists Mesut Kurtis, Umer Zaman and Ibrahim Al Dardasawi, along with a comedy show by Omar Regan.<\/p>\n
