About these holidays in Azerbaijan (2025)
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.
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.
Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is the Chinese Lunar New Year, the most important holiday in the Chinese calendar. It begins on the new moon between late January and mid February and traditionally runs for fifteen days, ending with the Lantern Festival. Public holidays usually cover about a week. Families reunite for the New Year's Eve dinner, exchange red envelopes, set off firecrackers and visit temples. Each year is associated with one of the twelve zodiac animals.
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is the festival breaking the fast of Ramadan, observed on the first day of Shawwal. It is one of the two major Islamic festivals and a public holiday throughout the Muslim world. The celebration opens with a special congregational prayer, followed by visits to family and neighbours, shared meals and giving to charity. Where the date has been confirmed by moon sighting, it appears without the estimated qualifier on published calendars.
