This year, Eid al-Fitr is on Friday 15 June, due to the sighting of the crescent moon.
The celebration marks the end of Ramadan, and thus a month of fasting - as Ramadan has fallen in the summer this year, UK Muslims have been fasting for about 18 hours a day.
After the solemn period of reflection, Eid is usually celebrated for three days, often with prayer services, presents and, of course, feasting.
The foods eaten to mark Eid vary across the world and there is no traditional set menu - both sweet and savoury dishes are consumed, from biryani and lamb shish kebabs to rice puddings and baklava.
And if you’re looking for foodie inspiration for Eid this year, you need look no further than Instagram, where people have been sharing pictures from celebrations past.
