Welcome to Muslim Heritage Month

Connecticut Muslim Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and invaluable contributions of Muslims across our state. From Hartford to New Haven, Bridgeport to Waterbury, Muslims have played a vital role in shaping Connecticut’s communities, advancing its industries, and enriching its cultural fabric.

This month provides an opportunity to honor the diversity within the Muslim community, which reflects a tapestry of traditions, languages, and heritages from around the globe. It’s also a moment to foster understanding, break down stereotypes, and build bridges of connection and mutual respect among all residents of our state.

Join us in exploring the stories of Connecticut Muslims—past and present—through engaging events, inspiring stories, and shared traditions. Together, we celebrate a legacy of faith, resilience, and unity that strengthens the social and cultural foundation of our state.
