In 2029, Rosh Hashanah falls on a Saturday, running through Sunday, September 9, 2029.
Rosh Hashanah 2029 falls on Saturday, September 8, 2029. That is a Saturday, which means it lands on a weekend. It is the 251st day of 2029 and sits in ISO week 36. 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 Saturday, Rosh Hashanah overlaps a normal weekend. Where it is a public holiday, many countries shift the day off to the following Monday, so check local substitute-day rules.

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and begins on the first day of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar. It opens the High Holy Days, a period of reflection, repentance, prayer, and return that culminates with Yom Kippur. Common customs include hearing the shofar, sharing festive meals, and eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey for a sweet year. Because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, Rosh Hashanah moves within September or early October on the Gregorian calendar. timekit lists the date from its shipped religious holidays table, computed with the local Hebrew calendar engine; Jewish holidays begin at sundown the previous evening in religious practice.
