April 1 - April 30 2024
Since 2016, the International Museum of Muslim Cultures has celebrated Islamic Heritage Month EVERY April IN the City of Jackson.
In celebration of the IMMC’s 15th anniversary, former Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber issued a proclamation designating April as Islamic Heritage Month (IHM). He urged the community “to celebrate and commemorate the historical contributions of Muslims, who ignited the Renaissance of Europe—into America, ushering in the age of science and technology, a culture of tolerance and peace [that values] education“.
Each year during the month of April, IMMC hosts numerous fun activities and educational events such as workshops, arts and cultural programs, and interfaith gatherings. IHM concludes with a citywide festival highlighting Muslim diversity as the local community is invited to participate in cultural presentations they lead that include food tastings, fashion shows, musical performances, and more.
