Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal. In 2027 it is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
Expected date by the Umm al-Qura calendar. Eid begins with the sighting of the new moon, so it can be a day later where you live.
By the Umm al-Qura calendar, Eid al-Fitr 2027 falls on Tuesday, March 9, 2027. The Islamic calendar is lunar and about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so Eid comes around 11 days earlier every year.
Many countries wait for the new crescent to be seen on the evening of 29 Ramadan; if it is not seen, Ramadan lasts 30 days and Eid moves to the next day. Turkey and some communities set the date in advance by astronomical calculation.
Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, by the Umm al-Qura calendar. The final date depends on the moon sighting at the end of Ramadan.
Each month of the Islamic calendar begins when the new crescent is seen. Countries that rely on their own sighting, or on calculation, can start Eid a day apart.
The festival itself is one day, the first of Shawwal, but most Muslim countries give two to four days of public holiday, and the visits and celebrations usually last three days.
