Chand Raat Eid Festival

Due to several circumstances and after careful deliberation, the management made the difficult decision to cancel the 2024 event. They look forward to reconvening next year with renewed vigour and spirit for CREF 2025.

The Chand Raat Eid Festival is one of the biggest multicultural celebrations in Australia.

It follows the Islamic calendar, marking the culmination of Ramadan and the eve of Eid-Al-Fitr. The term ‘Chand Raat’ translates to “night of the moon” of the Eid-Al-Fitr.
