THE Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) will today host an Eid market, offering patrons essential commodities at affordable prices ahead of Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
Patrons, according to a poster from the CIOG, can access the market from midday to 18:00hrs/06:00 pm, on the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) grounds, on the sidelines of the Ramadan Village.
Now in its third year, the Ramadan Village has grown into one of Guyana’s most anticipated faith-based and cultural events, drawing thousands of visitors from across the country and the diaspora.
The initiative, a collaboration among the CIOG, the Guyana Islamic Trust (GIT) and the Muslim Youth Organisation, in partnership with the Government of Guyana, will operate throughout the holy month of Ramadan.
Throughout the month, the village hosted nightly spiritual programmes, including the breaking of the fast, night prayers and additional evening prayers led by respected religious leaders.
Islamic scholars also delivered presentations focusing on youth development, women’s empowerment, and the spiritual virtues of fasting and faith.
Beyond the spiritual observances, the 2026 edition has seen greater emphasis on culture, history and family engagement.
The village featured more than 80 booths offering a wide range of local and international halaal cuisine, traditional souqs, Islamic literature, clothing, art and gift items, as well as educational exhibits highlighting the history and contributions of Muslims in Guyana.
