Islam · 2032
In 2032, Eid al-Adha falls on a Sunday, running through Wednesday, March 24, 2032.
Eid al-Adha 2032 falls on Sunday, March 21, 2032. That is a Sunday, which means it lands on a weekend. It is the 81st day of 2032 and sits in ISO week 12. 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.
Falling on a Sunday, Eid al-Adha overlaps a normal weekend. Where it is a public holiday, the observed day off is often moved to the following Monday under substitute-day rules.
Compared with 2031, when it fell on April 2, Eid al-Adha 2032 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.

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.
