CROSSROADS Maldives is preparing for a two-day celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a significant festival for the local community that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The celebrations are set to take place on April 22nd and 23rd, 2023, pending the official sighting of the moon, and will be packed with exciting activities for guests of CROSSROADS Maldives. In-house guests at Crossroads and day visitors of The Marina can look forward to a range of exclusive feasts, cultural performances, and traditional games.

The first day of Eid will feature a cultural spectacle in the form of the Maali dance, a traditional dance performed by men who are adorned in traditional garb, accompanied by mythical characters inspired by African tribal dancers. The Maali Parade will commence at Hard Rock Hotel Maldives and culminate in a Cultural Eid Show at the SAii Beach Club, featuring live performances of Boduberu, a type of traditional music, and Fenkulhi, a playful water fight that involves participation from all.

On the second day, CROSSROADS Maldives will host the highly anticipated Street Market at The Marina, inspired by the vibrant Asian weekend street markets, featuring an array of stalls offering freshly prepared foods and various goods. The Street Market at The Marina will now be held every Friday, providing a unique opportunity for all registered businesses to promote and sell their products with free stalls. Since its inception in 2020, the Street Market has proven to be a resounding success, providing a valuable platform for small businesses and aspiring artists from across the country.
