Eidul Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is celebrated worldwide with great joy. The occasion typically lasts for three days, during which the federal government declares public holidays.

According to SUPARCO, the month of fasting is expected to last for 29 days, concluding on March 30, with Eidul Fitr expected on March 31. However, if the Shawwal moon is not sighted on March 30, Eid celebrations will begin on April 1.

Expected Eidul Fitr 2025 Holidays

Citizens could enjoy five to six holidays for Eidul Fitr, depending on the moon sighting. The government traditionally grants three public holidays for the festival.

  • If Eid falls on March 31: There will be three public holidays until April 2. However, with the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) preceding Eid, people may get a total of five days off.
  • If Eid falls on April 1: Public holidays will extend until April 3, potentially giving citizens six days off, starting from Saturday, March 29.
