Abstract This study explores how Eid al-Fitr celebrations among upper-middle-class Muslims in metropolitan cities are evolving under the influences of affluence, globalization, and technology. Through surveys and interviews with 30 participants, it examines the impact of socioeconomic status on gift-giving, the integration of global trends into traditional practices, and generational perspectives on communal feasts. Data reveals that while social media and connectivity have introduced new aesthetic and social elements, affluence magnifies the scale and hospitality of the celebrations. Despite these changes, participants largely emphasize the importance of preserving tradition. These findings underscore Eid al-Fitr as a dynamic expression of cultural identity where tradition and modernity converge, highlighting the adaptability of urban Muslim communities.
