How the date works
Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, at the end of the Hajj pilgrimage. The Day of Arafah is the day before.
The Islamic calendar is lunar and about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so Eid al-Adha moves roughly 11 days earlier on the Gregorian calendar each year.
The dates here are astronomical estimates. The official day depends on moon sighting or a calculated calendar and can differ by a day between countries; Saudi Arabia can be a day ahead of other places. Confirm with your local mosque or religious authority.
Celebrations usually last three to four days, and many Muslim-majority countries give several days of public holiday.
