The exact date of Eid al-Adha 2030

Eid al-Adha 2030 falls on Friday, April 12, 2030. That is a Friday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 102nd day of 2030 and sits in ISO week 15. 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.

A Friday date means Eid al-Adha runs straight into the weekend, giving a built-in three-day stretch without taking any extra leave.

Compared with 2029, when it fell on April 23, Eid al-Adha 2030 moves about 11 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.
