With the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, Lloydminster Muslims will celebrate their first in-person, Eid-ul-Adha on Tuesday July 20.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Lloydminster will join with Muslims the worldover in the festival, by greeting each other in-person, wearing festive outfits, exchanging gifts, enjoying special meals and visiting each other’s homes.

Eid greetings will follow at 10:45 a.m.
