Ankara, ebcmedia – Pada tahun 2025, perayaan Idul Fitri di Turki jatuh pada hari Minggu, 30 Maret 2025, atau satu hari lebih awal dibandingkan dengan di Indonesia.
KBRI Ankara menyelenggarakan kegiatan halalbihalal bertempat di Wisma Duta Besar RI yang beralamat di Baku sokak No. 5, Oran – Ankara. Kegiatan tersebut dihadiri oleh lebih dari 600 orang masyarakat Indonesia yang tinggal di Ankara, dan bahkan beberapa datang dari kota lain khusus untuk berpartisipasi pada halalbihalal.

Selain itu terdapat juga makanan khas Indonesia lainnya seperti bakso kuah, konro, bakwan, dan ayam cabai hijau. KBRI Ankara juga menyediakan pojok karaoke untuk menambah kemeriahan acara.
Eid al-Fitr Celebration in Indonesian Ambassador Residence
Ankara, ebcmedia – the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Ankara organized Eid al-Fitr Celebration in the Residence of the Indonesian Ambassador which is located in Baku sokak No. 5, Oran – Ankara.
The celebration is conducted one day earlier compared to Indonesia which celebrates Eid al-Fitr on Monday, April 1, 2025. This is because Eid al-Fitr is determined in Indonesia using the “moon-sighting” method, and the crescent moon of “Shawwal” month was not yet sighted on March 29 in Indonesia.
More than 600 Indonesian nationals attended the celebration, consisting of students, professionals, and Indonesian diaspora who got married with Turkish nationals. Aside from that, Ambassadors of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Bangladesh also attended the event.
Traditional Indonesian dishes specially consumed for the Eid al-Fitr celebration in Indonesia were also provided in the Residence of the Ambassador, including rice cake, opor ayam (a type of chicken curry with coconut milk), and rendang, a savory and spicy meat dish which was voted as the most delicious food in the world by CNN Travel in 2011 and 2017.
Eid al-Fitr is the biggest religious celebration in Indonesia where Indonesians usually travel back to their hometown to spend time with their families and relatives in the one week holiday that is usually decided by the government.
