Greetings from Rumi Friendship Association!

We are pleased to invite you to the 2021 Virginia Beach Community Iftar Dinner that will be held at the Sandler Center for Performing Arts on April 29th from 6:00 PM to 8:15 PM.

We proudly join cities across the globe to celebrate cultural inclusion during the month of Ramadan by sharing art, conversation, and food to encourage understanding between diverse communities.

This year’s event will feature:

· Live music from award-winning Sufi Turkish musicians, Ertuğrul and Aslıhan Erkişi

· Live calligraphy demonstrations by Master Calligrapher, Aydin Cayir

· Turkish folk-art displays

· Guest speakers; and

· Traditional Turkish cuisine.

Attendance is limited, so please RSVP at your earliest convenience by registering here

Lastly, we would like to give a very special thanks to the Virginia Beach Commission on the Arts who selected our organization to receive grants funds to support this Iftar Dinner.

We hope you will join us!
