Eid al‑Adha prayer at Great Park

The Islamic Center of Irvine plans to hold an Eid al-Adha prayer gathering at Great Park Live in Irvine on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, according to the center’s event calendar and a separate event listing. The posted schedule shows two congregational prayers at the outdoor venue at 8000 Great Park Blvd. in Irvine. The listings say the first takbir is set for 6:45 a.m. with prayer at 7:00 a.m., and the second takbir is set for 8:45 a.m. with prayer at 9:00 a.m. Both postings say attendees should bring their own prayer rugs. ### Which group is organizing the prayer at Great Park Live? The Islamic Center of Irvine is listed as the organizing mosque for the May 27 Eid al-Adha salat. The center’s website shows “Eid Al Adha Salat” on its calendar twice on May 27, at 6:45 a.m. and 8:45 a.m., matching the prayer schedule published on the Masjid app page affiliated with the center. The Events in California listing also identifies the Islamic Center of Irvine and says the nonprofit was founded in 2004. The site directs readers seeking more information to the mosque’s website and its Masjid app page. ### What time are the prayers scheduled to begin? Wednesday, May 27, is the date shown across the event postings for the Irvine gathering. The first prayer block lists takbir at 6:45 a.m. and salat at 7:00 a.m. The second lists takbir at 8:45 a.m. and salat at 9:00 a.m. The dual schedule suggests organizers are preparing for more than one prayer window at the same site. None of the postings reviewed gave a separate registration requirement or ticket price, and the Events in California page lists the event cost as free. ### Where exactly is Great Park Live, and what kind of venue is it? Great Park Live is listed at 8000 Great Park Blvd., Irvine, CA 92618, in the event postings for the Eid prayer. The venue’s website describes it as an outdoor amphitheater in Irvine that hosts concerts, festivals and community events. That description aligns with the format of the Eid listing, which presents the prayer as a large community gathering rather than a small indoor service. The event page does not specify an attendance cap or parking plan. ### What are attendees being told to bring? The event postings say worshippers should bring their own prayer rugs. That instruction appears on both the Masjid app listing and the Events in California page. No dress code, bag policy or weather contingency was listed in the materials reviewed. The available postings focus on prayer times, location and the host organization. ### Is the May 27 date consistent with other Southern California Eid postings? The Shura Council page for Eid al-Adha 2026 says Wednesday, May 27, 2026, is the date for Eid al-Adha prayer times and locations across Southern California. That broader regional posting supports the date used by the Islamic Center of Irvine for its Great Park Live gathering. Other Southern California mosques reviewed also posted May 27 schedules for Eid al-Adha prayers, though at different venues and times. Those separate postings do not govern the Irvine event, but they place the Great Park Live prayer within the wider holiday schedule for the region. ### Where can people check for updates before the gathering? The Islamic Center of Irvine’s website and its Masjid app page both carry the May 27 prayer listing for Great Park Live. The Events in California page also repeats the schedule and location details. May 27 is the next key date for the gathering, with the first takbir scheduled for 6:45 a.m. at Great Park Live in Irvine.
