Ramadan Streets is a five-day cultural event and night market that welcomes people of all backgrounds to come together and experience the community-spirit of Ramadan. Taking place during March 12-16th, from dusk until midnight, it takes place in an empty car park in Coventry Road, Birmingham, with an opportunity for the community to break their fast together.

Thoughtfully designed to foster comfort and inclusivity, working in close collaboration with Birmingham City Council, Ramadan Streets offers an opportunity for those of all background to experience street-food favourites from smash burgers to corn-dogs. Visitors can expect a souk experience with 50 stalls selling food, crafts, art and other artisan goods featuring well established vendors as well as local businesses.

The event is led by the creative team at Soul City Arts and supported by The Halal Food Festival.

Artistic lead Mohammed Ali, has also created a series of films entitled ‘Ramadan Diaries’ which will be showcased during the event, where the community speaks on reflections of Ramadan, which will be projected directly onto the walls overlooking the car park at night.
Ramadan is a sacred month dedicated to fasting, prayer, and contemplation for Muslims. Increasingly Iftars and the spirit of Ramadan have brought people together, regardless of faith or background.
The event has been commissioned and supported by Cllr Saima Suleman and Birmingham City Council.

Coventry Road

We chose Coventry Road in Small Heath for Ramadan Streets because it is the heart of Birmingham’s Muslim community and a vibrant hub of culture and food. During Ramadan, the area comes to life as families and friends gather to break their fast, with mosques and eateries filled with people sharing in the spirit of the month. Known for its diverse food scene, Coventry Road is the perfect setting for a night market that brings together street food, art, and community.
