A Dictionary of Dutchness

Suikerfeest

Suikerfeest literally means ‘sugar party’ and is the Dutch name for Eid ul-Fitr, the celebration which marks the end of the 30-day Muslim fasting period of Ramadan. There have been calls for Eid ul-Fitr to be made a public holiday in the Netherlands but this has not gone down well among those who fear the Netherlands is being taken over by Islam.
