In Australia, Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is expected to fall on Sunday, 16 June 2024, depending on the sighting of the moon.

Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Thul Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar.

Eid al-Adha, a multi-day celebration, is observed by Muslims worldwide. As Muslims follow the Islamic lunar calendar, the celebration can differ by a day or two depending on countries and regions. It is a time for worship, gatherings with family and friends, and shared meals.
