On June 2, 2025, Pakistan’s federal government announced a four-day public holiday for Eid al-Adha, from June 6 to June 9. Per a Cabinet Division notification, this holiday covers five- and six-day workweek offices.
The Eid ul Adha 2025 Pakistan festival, which falls on June 7, coincides with the 10th day of the Zil Hajj, marking the pilgrimage.
Eid Al Adha, known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (PBUH) willingness to sacrifice his son, a test of faith replaced by a divine ram. Celebrated over three days, it involves prayers, family gatherings, and livestock sacrifice, with meat shared among relatives and the underprivileged. Cattle markets for cows, goats, sheep, and camels are bustling nationwide.
The holidays, starting June 6, align with Zil Hajj’s onset on May 29. The extended break facilitates travel and festivities, boosting local economies, especially in livestock markets.
