Calendar of religious festivals in Senegal in 2025

Senegal is preparing to experience a year 2025 rich in religious events, marked by several Muslim holidays. According to information reported by Serigne Mor Asta Touré, relayed by our colleagues at Sud Quotidien, the month of March 2025 will see the start of Ramadan for the country's Muslims.

The Muslim faithful will thus begin the holy month of fasting and prayer on Sunday March 2, 2025, corresponding to the first day of Ramadan 1446H. This period, of high spiritual importance, culminates with the celebration of Korité on Monday March 31, 2025. This day, corresponding to Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of the month of Ramadan and is a time of great joy and gathering .

Tabaski, one of the most anticipated holidays in the Muslim calendar, will be celebrated on Saturday June 7, 2025. Also known as Eid al-Adha, this festival is dedicated to the sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim, and is of particular importance for the Muslims of Senegal.

The religious calendar will continue with the first day of Muharram 1447H, Friday June 27, 2025. This holy month of the Islamic calendar is often punctuated with significant religious and historical events. Finally, the Tamqarit 1447H celebrations will take place on Saturday July 5, 2025, a major cultural and religious event for Senegalese communities.
