20,000 people joined ‘Eid at the Zoo’ festival at Sydney Taronga Zoo

Crescent Wealth, an organization well-known for its Islamic superannuation and Financing services, organized a highly successful Eid festival in Sydney continuing its last year's tradition. 

"It was a magical feeling with beautiful blue skies overhead, the sound of children’s laughter ringing across grassy fields, tempting aromas of food tingling the senses, Muslims feeling welcome and at peace, and the sound of the Adhan echoing across the harbour, calling some to prayer and others to curiosit." reports  Mobinah Ahmad  of Australian Muslim Times.

The event was highly appreciated by the community owing to the availability of prayer facilities, a number of halal food outlets, discounts and the sense of community bonding the event nurtured. 

This event was a celebration of Australian multiculturalism and and an excellent initiative to bring the whole community together. Guests from all faiths and cultural backgrounds honored the occasion. Guests, Zoo staff, volunteers and stall holders all praised the event and its spirit.
