Eid al-Adha in Canada 2025

Eid al-Adha in Canada Expected on Friday, June 6, 2025

Muslim communities across Canada are preparing to welcome Eid al-Adha 2025, one of the most spiritually significant celebrations in Islam. According to astronomical calculations, Eid al-Adha is expected to fall on Friday, June 6, 2025, corresponding to 10 Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH. However, the final confirmation will depend on the official moon sighting as declared by recognized Islamic authorities.

Across Canada, mosques are expected to host large gatherings for Eid prayers, and many homes and neighborhoods will come alive with joy, family meals, and the act of Qurbani (ritual animal sacrifice). In keeping with tradition, families will distribute portions of their sacrifice to those in need—locally and abroad—reflecting the deeply humanitarian nature of the celebration.

Eid Qurbani

For those wishing to perform Qurbani overseas, several trusted platforms facilitate the process. Services like Sooreety, which delivers Qurbani within Syria, and Adahi in Saudi Arabia offer convenient and reliable options. In Egypt, Misrelkheir provides organized Qurbani distribution to underserved communities. In places like Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and across the world, Sadaqa donations help provide food and support to families in need—especially during the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah. It’s a powerful way to extend the spirit of Eid beyond borders and bring joy to others. These services ensure that the sacrifice reaches families in need while maintaining transparency and ease for donors in Canada.

Eid Holiday

While Eid al-Adha is not an official public holiday in Canada, many Muslims take personal days off to spend time with family and attend community celebrations. This year, the 12th annual Halal Food Festival Mississauga will take place on June 13–14, 2025, aligning with the Eid season. The festival, known as the largest of its kind in the region, features halal cuisine from around the world, live entertainment, and cultural showcases—welcoming tens of thousands of visitors from all backgrounds.

Eid al-Adha in Canada continues to evolve into a broader celebration of multiculturalism and shared values. It’s not just a religious observance—it’s a moment that brings communities together, celebrates identity, and strengthens the social fabric of a diverse and inclusive nation.
