Eid al Adha 2024 

Eid al-Adha is an Arabic word that means festival of sacrifice. Muslims celebrate Eid al Adha according to the Islamic Hijri calendar. Moreover, it is always celebrated on the 10th of Zil Hajj (Islamic month). It continues for three days straight and ends on the 12th Zil Hajj. Now comes the question of when Eid al Adha is in Canada. The Islamic lunar calendar determines the Eid date and day. Therefore, the Eid al Adha date varies every year. According to the news, the expected date of Eid al Adha in Canada is 15th or 16th June 2024. This is only the estimated date. The date of Eid depends on the sighting of the Zil Hajj moon. All Muslims living in Canada can start their Eid preparations now because Eid al Adha is not too far. 

Is Eid al-Adha Celebrated by All Canadians?

The short answer to the question of whether or not all Canadians celebrate Eid is no. Not every Canadian observes Eid. It is a Muslim-exclusive event, and Muslims alone commemorate it. Diversity in culture is celebrated in Canada. Everyone is free to practice their culture as they see fit. For Muslims, this also holds true. Every Muslim living in Canada is welcome to enthusiastically celebrate their religious and cultural holidays. Canadian Muslims can celebrate this sacred event without any restrictions.
