About Vesak

Vesak, often called Buddha Day, is a major Buddhist observance commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of the Buddha. It is especially prominent in Theravada Buddhist countries, though dates and customs vary by country and calendar tradition. Observances may include visiting temples, meditation, chanting, offerings, almsgiving, lanterns, processions, and acts of kindness. Vesak is commonly tied to a full moon in the lunar month of Vesakha, often in May, but official Gregorian dates can differ across regions. This page uses the hand-tabled Vesak dates in timekit's 2026-2035 religious holidays data, matching the broader calendar tool's published date set.
