Eid Al Adha prayer gathering, Santa Clara

Events in California lists an Eid Al Adha prayer gathering for Wednesday, May 27, at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, 344 Tully Road in San Jose. The event page says the gathering is free and scheduled for 7:00 a.m. at the fairgrounds. A separate Eid announcement carried by a mosque listing for Masjid Al-Mustafa, part of the South Bay Islamic Association, points to the same fairgrounds site but gives prayer times of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., leaving the exact schedule unclear. ### When is the Santa Clara Eid prayer scheduled? Wednesday, May 27, is the date listed across the event postings tied to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds gathering. Events in California places the start time at 7:00 a.m. for “Eid Al Adha Prayer, Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, San Jose, CA,” and marks the event as free. Masjid Al-Mustafa’s listing on Prayers Connect gives a different timetable for the same date and location. (eventsincalifornia.com) That posting says “Eid-Al-Adha salah will be held on May 27, 2026 at 09:00 and 10:00 am” at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds Expo Hall, 344 Tully Road, San Jose. ### Where is the gathering being held? Santa Clara County Fairgrounds identifies its address as 344 Tully Rd., San Jose, CA 95111 on its contact page. A Santa Clara County government facility page lists the same address and phone number for the fairgrounds. The Prayers Connect notice specifies the Expo Hall within the fairgrounds as the prayer location. (prayersconnect.com) Events in California does not name a hall, but it uses the same street address for the event listing. ### Who appears to be connected to the event? The South Bay Islamic Association says on its website that it is based in San Jose and has provided services to the community since 1977. (thefairgrounds.org) The association operates Masjid Al-Mustafa, which is the name attached to the prayer announcement surfaced in search results. The Muslim Community Association, another Bay Area Muslim organization, says on its website that “the first of Dhul Hijjah is May 18th” and tells visitors to “please also join us for Eid al-Adha prayer on Wednesday, May 27.” That notice confirms the regional observance date but does not tie MCA directly to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds event. (prayersconnect.com) ### Why do the posted times differ? (sbia.info) Events in California shows the San Jose prayer at 7:00 a.m., while the Masjid Al-Mustafa notice shows two salah times at 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Neither of the surfaced listings explains the discrepancy, and no official fairgrounds page reviewed in this search carried a matching public schedule entry for the prayer gathering. (mcabayarea.org) The difference may reflect separate arrival, program or prayer times, but that is an inference from the postings rather than a stated explanation. The published material reviewed here confirms the date and venue, but not a single agreed start time. ### What should attendees check before they go? The fairgrounds’ official pages provide the venue address and contact information, including a main phone number of 408-494-3100. (eventsincalifornia.com) Events in California and the mosque-linked prayer notice remain the main publicly visible sources for the Eid gathering details found in this reporting. Wednesday, May 27, is the next key date for attendees, and the most current details appear on the online event listing and the mosque announcement tied to the fairgrounds location.
