According to the official holiday schedule, the Bangladesh government has set five days of public holidays for Eid-ul-Fitr in 2026. If the moon for the month of Shawwal is sighted on March 20, Eid will be celebrated on March 21; otherwise, it will fall on March 22. Based on this, the government has declared March 19 to 23 as Eid holidays. Additionally, Shab-e-Qadr will be observed on March 17, followed by regular work on March 18.
After the Eid holidays, offices will reopen on March 24 and 25, before closing again for Independence Day on March 26 and the weekend on March 27–28. Employees who take casual leave on March 24 and 25 could enjoy a continuous 10-day break from March 19 to 28. Those taking an extra day off on March 18 could start their holidays from Shab-e-Qadr.
Educational institutions have already been closed since the beginning of Ramadan. Schools, colleges, and madrasas are scheduled to reopen on March 29 after the combined Ramadan, Eid, and summer vacations.
