Taipei City Government

Taipei City Foreign and Disabled Labor Office (FDLO) will be holding an event to commemorate Eid al-Fitr (also known as Hari Raya Puasa) for Indonesian expats at the 228 Peace Memorial Park this Sunday.
The event will take place between 1 PM and 4:30 PM on July 19.
In addition to a prayer session organized by the Taipei Grand Mosque Foundation, there will be performances of Indonesian music, as well as lessons on how to dance poco-poco.
Labor Commissioner Lai Hsiang-lin noted that the purpose of organizing the Eid celebrations is to express the city government’s gratitude to the hard-working migrant workers, hoping they can take some time off to commemorate the occasion and enjoy the weekend.
The Eid marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month in the Muslim tradition. For Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan, working an entire month without meals during the daytime can be extremely tasking. By holding this event, FDLO hopes to offer these workers a time to relax and congregate with their peers to celebrate this important occasion.
