Eid al-Adha in Auckland: Dates, meaning, traditions and events
Kia ora neighbours, the Muslim community is set to celebrate the second religious holiday of the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha, later this month.
The celebration will fall on July 21 according to the new moon sighting last Sunday.
Eid al-Adha is a holy celebration meaning “feast of the sacrifice”, marking the end of Hajj, an annual religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia following the footsteps of the prophet Abraham.
Eden Park will host festivities this year, with an expected turnout of 10,000 people for a day of fun activities and food stalls for everyone.

With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
