About 7,000 Muslims are expected Wednesday morning at the South Florida Fairgrounds to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
Groups from several Palm Beach County mosques plan to attend the 8 a.m. event.
Deputies from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are under contract to provide security, a concern in light of recent anti-Islamic incidents in Fort Pierce and Houston.
