The month of Ramadan has both individualistic and communal elements to it. Various opportunities to partake in the communal aspects of Ramadan include:

 - Iftar (breaking the fast) - Oftentimes mosques will host iftars, which will be meals at sunset (maghrib) at the time of breaking the fast.  These are excellent opportunities to join the community and share these special times of the day together, whether at the mosque or often at people's houses.

 - Taraweeh prayer - Most mosques will lead taraweeh, which are voluntary nightly congregational prayers usually starting after the Isha prayer.  During these prayers, the leader of the prayer (Imam) will usually recite parts of the Quran within each rakah (prayer unit), many of whom strive to complete the entire Quran during the month.  Taraweeh can typically last anywhere from twenty minutes to over an hour each night.

 - Eid Al-Fitr (the festival of breaking the fast) is a celebration that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.  It includes the Eid prayer which is a large congregational prayer usually early in the morning of Eid, usually with huge turnouts.  The prayer is often hosted outdoors, with locations announced in advance.  The rest of the day is usually followed by community celebrations and get-togethers.  Don't be shy to introduce yourself and get to know those around you.
