The Muslim Festi Ramazan will also take place in Dortmund in 2020. But no longer in the open air, but in the Westfalen Halls 7 and 8 (photo above), as the municipal authorities announced on the 03rd of March 2020.In recent years there have been repeated clashes because the festival was held in the open air and residents felt harassed. This time the festival is to be shortened from four to three weeks and will last from May 1 to 24.

It starts every day at 6 p.m. – and at Borussia Dortmund home games only when the crowds of visitors have passed through. According to the organizers, it is the largest Ramadan event in Europe. However, with 50,000 visitors, only half as many as in previous years are expected this year, said Sabine Loos, Managing Director of the Westfalen-Halls. In previous years, the festival had been held on parking lots near the Westfalen Halls.
