Authorities in Zanzibar are aiming to set a new world record today by hosting one of the largest communal Iftar gatherings ever held at Amani Stadium.
The event, taking place in Zanzibar City, Tanzania, is expected to bring together thousands of people who will break their fast together during the holy month of Ramadan. Organizers say the initiative aims to promote unity, community spirit, and cultural celebration.
Participants from across the island have been invited to gather at Amani Stadium to share the evening meal after sunset. Volunteers and community groups have prepared large quantities of traditional foods and drinks to ensure everyone attending the event can take part in the historic moment.
Officials say the gathering will be documented and submitted to Guinness World Records for verification as the largest mass Iftar event. If confirmed, the record would highlight Zanzibar’s strong sense of community and its role in celebrating important cultural and religious traditions.
