Happy Ramadan! Fast in the 6 welcomes everyone to come together share an evening of food, fun and fireworks on April 14th

In the spirit of Ramadan, Fast in the 6 is a unique Canadian event that invites Torontonians of all backgrounds to a free public event to come together and participate in the simple but powerful act of sharing a meal on April 14th at 6:30pm on Nathan Phillips Square. In addition to delicious food, the family friendly evening will also be filled with fun, live music and spectacular fireworks from the top of City Hall.

Fast in the 6 was founded in 2017 by Toronto philanthropists, Lisa and Dany Assaf. They wanted to create an event that brought all Torontonians together to simply celebrate the beauty of our City and its people in the month of Ramadan.
