About these holidays in Azerbaijan (2027)
Our Azerbaijan public holidays guide explains the background of each holiday and how the dates are set.
New Year's Day
New Year's Day falls on 1 January and opens the Gregorian calendar year. Most countries mark it with a public holiday, and celebrations usually begin the night before with countdowns, fireworks and gatherings. The date was fixed in its current position by Julius Caesar's calendar reform, and later preserved by the Gregorian reform of 1582. traditions vary widely, from first-footing in Scotland to writing resolutions for the months ahead.
New Year's Day (observed)
Where 1 January falls at a weekend, several countries shift the public holiday to the following Monday or to another weekday, and the substituted date is labelled as observed. This ensures a day off is not lost to the weekend. The holiday itself opens the Gregorian calendar year and is celebrated with countdowns, fireworks and gatherings that usually begin on New Year's Eve.
Martyrs' Day
Martyrs' Day honours those who died for their country or for a political or religious cause. The date and the event commemorated vary by nation: in India it marks the death of Mahatma Gandhi on 30 January, in Panama the 1964 flag protests, and in several Arab countries it recalls those killed in the independence struggle. Observances typically include wreath laying, moments of silence and official ceremonies at memorials.
Women's Day
Women's Day is celebrated on 8 March as International Women's Day, recognising the achievements of women and campaigning for gender equality. It developed from early twentieth century labour and suffrage movements in Europe and North America and was formally adopted by the United Nations in 1975. In a number of countries it is a public holiday, and it is traditional to give flowers and small gifts to women.
Eid al-Fitr (estimated)
Eid al-Fitr is the festival that ends Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, and begins on the first day of Shawwal. It is a two or three day public holiday across much of the Muslim world. The date depends on the sighting of the new moon, so published calendars mark it as estimated until it is confirmed. Families gather for prayer, shared meals and charitable giving before the fast was broken each evening of Ramadan.
