The exact date of Eid al-Fitr 2027

Eid al-Fitr 2027 falls on Monday, March 8, 2027. That is a Monday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 67th day of 2027 and sits in ISO week 10. 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-Fitr 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 2026, when it fell on March 19, Eid al-Fitr 2027 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-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr marks the close of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. It begins on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Hijri calendar, after the end of Ramadan. Many Muslim communities mark the day with a special prayer, charitable giving, festive meals, new clothes, and visits with family and neighbors. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Eid al-Fitr moves earlier through the Gregorian calendar by roughly eleven days each year.
