The Islamic Centre of Cambridge is celebrating the holidays with its annual Family Fun Night on Dec. 25.
Since the pandemic, the event, full of lucky draw, prizes, surprise gifts, and games for all, will make its return after a two year hiatus.
Alam Mohammad, director of the Islamic Centre in Cambridge, says that he is excited to see Family Fun Night back for the holidays this year.
“After two years, we are so happy to be able to celebrate again,” Mohammad says.
Mohammad has been with the Islamic Centre for the last nine years, and says that the event is always popular, and one that community members always look forward to.
“There’s lots of fun and lots of surprises. During the year, we do offer so many programs, but those programs are mostly focused on educating people,” Mohammad says.
“So, our Family Fun Night is focused on fun for families, for all men, women, and children to come together, sit together, have fun, win some prizes, enjoy good food, and then go home.”
Mohammad says the event is not just for the local Muslim community.
“This is open to the community, and everyone is cordially invited,” Mohammad says.
“We often have the mayor, MPP and other politicians come out to the event, year after year. It really is a great event that brings everyone together. This is for the whole community, for family and friends, so come and join us.”
The annual Family Fun Night will be held at the Islamic Centre of Cambridge on Dec. 25 at 5 p.m. at 1550 Dunbar Rd.
Tickets are $10 per person which includes one meal. Tickets can also be purchased at the door for $15.
"Bring your family and friends, there will be fun for everyone,” Mohammad says.
