What’s more, a mass Iftar event, one where Muslims gather at sunset to break their fast during Ramadan, will take place on March 23, 2024 at 7pm across the stretch of Arab Street. This event is set to break the World Book of Records for being the largest Iftar in Singapore, with a projected 1,500 attendees.
