What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?THIS YEAR PARKING FEES ARE INCORPORATED IN THE TICKET PRICE.  This will shorten wait times at entry and insha'Allah make the whole process smoother. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND all drivers to drop-off family members especially elderly and those who require assistance at the designated "Drop-off Zone" at the front entrance prior to parking.

What time will Eid Salaat begin?Takbirat will begin at 9:30am and Eid Salaat will begin Insha'Allah at 10:00am sharp.  We anticipate long lines and traffic to the Convention Center, so we highly recommend that you plan to arrive 45 - 60 minutes prior to the the start of prayer so you have ample time to park, walk over, and ensure your spot in the main hall. Doors open at 9:00am. Should I bring my own prayer rug?This year we are praying in a West Concourse hall which is carpeted. The prayer area will be clean, but we always recommend that you bring your own prayer rugs.  Chairs will be available for those who require them.  Will there be boxes available to collect Fitrah?Yes. Boxes exclusively for Zakat-ul-Fitr will be available till the start of Eid Salaat.  Eid Orlando highly encourages its attendees to pay their Zakat-ul-Fitr in advance at their respective institutions/Masjids.  This will allow for the timely distribution to those in need.  Any Zakat-ul-Fitr collected on-site will be given to an appropriate organization/Masjid to distribute according to the Sunnah. What time will the kids activities begin as well as food for purchase?The Entertainment hall will open right after prayer is finished.  What types of activities will be available for kids?Arrangements have been made for all ages to enjoy, including teenagers! This may include but is not limited to, bounce houses/inflatables, face painting, etc. Will there be HALAL food available?Yes, multiple vendors will be present to serve our Muslim guests.  Eid Orlando has made arrangements with the Orange County Convention Center for HALAL food to be available for purchase.
