Mosque Open Day 2017
National Mosque Open Day is an annual Australia-wide event organised by the Lebanese Muslim Association and proudly supported by the Department of Social Services. The event features a number of mosques across the nation simultaneously opening their doors to the public and inviting them to come in and explore their local mosque.
While mosques are open all year round, many non-Muslim Australians are unaware of this fact and do not take the opportunity to meet local Muslims and find answers to their questions about Islam. On National Mosque Open Day, each participating mosque will present a unique experience and flavour, representing the particular multicultural make-up of its congregation. Some mosques will have BBQs, sweets and food, others activities for children and others again will host special exhibitions. Many mosques will combine all of these elements. Common to all mosques, however, will be an open and welcoming attitude and the opportunity to ask questions of religious elders and seek answers to questions.
Cairns Mosque Address: 31 Dunn St, Cairns North QLD 4870

Mosque Open Day 2015
National Mosque Open Day (NMOD) is an initiative run by the Lebanese Muslim Association and proudly supported by the Department of Social Services that endeavours to facilitate a greater understanding of Islam and Muslims in Australia by opening up the mosque, the centre of the Muslim community, to the wider Australian public. The event will again see a number of mosques around the country opening their doors to the wider Australian public, in an attempt to go some of the way to improving social cohesion and breaking down various misconceptions and misunderstandings. This will be done by providing an engaging opportunity for discussion and education between Muslims and non-Muslims. For a number of years, mosques across Australia have inconsistently held mosque open days. In 2014, the LMA organised the inaugural National Mosque Open Day, which involved at least one mosque in each state opening their doors to the public on the same day. The event continues to aim to consolidate and systematise mosque open days around the country into one agreed-upon day. To keep up to date with NMOD, please check out and follow thier Facebook page.
