The exact date of Eid al-Adha 2029

Eid al-Adha 2029 falls on Monday, April 23, 2029. That is a Monday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 113th day of 2029 and sits in ISO week 17. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

Because Eid al-Adha lands on a Monday, it naturally extends the preceding weekend into a three-day break for anyone whose Saturday and Sunday are already free.

Compared with 2028, when it fell on May 4, Eid al-Adha 2029 moves about 12 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

About Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, often translated as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major Islamic festivals. It falls on the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah, the final month of the Hijri calendar, and coincides with the closing rites of the Hajj pilgrimage. The holiday recalls Ibrahim's devotion and is observed with communal prayer, family gatherings, charitable sharing, and, where practiced, the ritual sacrifice with meat distributed among relatives and people in need. Since the Hijri calendar is lunar, the Gregorian date changes every year. timekit uses its shipped religious holidays data for the listed date; official local announcements and moon-sighting practice may differ by a day.
