Intoduction
Nestled between Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan is a

land of vibrant culture and diverse history. Its na-
tional holidays offer a window into its rich tapestry,
blending traditions from the Caspian Sea to the Cau-
casus Mountains. These celebrations are not just
dates on the calendar; they are threads that weave to-
gether the fabric of Azerbaijani identity, connecting
its past with its present and future.
National Holidays of Azerbaijan
There are several Azerbaijan holidays and events

throughout the year. The busiest month is May,
largely because of Baku’s many food festivals and
jazz concerts. A majority of the locals are Muslims
so Ramadan (also called Ramazan) is one of the
most important and highly anticipated celebrations
in the country. There are also plenty of national days
honoring important historical events during the
struggle for independence.
Novruz (March 20th-
21st)
The New Year of the Zoroastrian, Novruz

Bayram is considered a public holiday in
Azerbaijan. Traditionally, a novruz table is
adorned with candles, colored eggs, dry
fruits, and sweets. Foods that start with the
letter ‘s’ (such as sumakh, sir, sabzi, sib,
serkeh, and sonbol) are served. The center of
the table is never without a bowl of goldfish
because it is believed that when the New Year
comes, the goldfish will face north.
Victory’s Day (9 May)
Held every May 9, Victory’s Day is cele-

brated to honor the Soviet Republic’s triumph
over Germany in WWII. It is also to show re-
spect for the veterans who died in battle.
Republic Day
A public holiday on May 28,

Republic Day remembers the
formation of the Democratic Re-
public of Azerbaijan in 1918
Victory Day (8 november)
The Victory Day is a public holiday in

Azerbaijan that is celebrated on 8 Novem-
ber, in commemoration of Azerbaijani vic-
tory in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. Es-
tablished by the decree of the President of
Azerbaijan from 2 December 2020, the holi-
day is celebrated on the day of the recapture
of Shusha. It is a non-working holiday.
Day of National Salvation of Azer-
baijani People
June 15 is a state holiday celebrating Hey-

dar Aliyev’s return as the country’s leader.
Known for leading his people to significant
social and economic changes, he ultimately
improved the quality of life in Azerbaijan and
brought stability to the nation.
Gurban Bayram
Known as the ‘Day of Sacrifice’ or ‘Qurban,’

Gurban Bayram celebrates the end of the Haji
pilgrimage and Abraham’s sacrifice for God. A
camel or goat is sacrificed to remember Abra-
ham, who slaughtered a ram instead of his own
son.
Ramazan Bayram
Ramazan Bayram (Ramadan) is internationally known as ‘Eid Ul Fitr,’

which sees an entire month of fasting, ending on the day of the full
moon. Sweets and gifts are exchanged between Azerbaijan family
members and friends. The two-day celebration is lively and interesting
with people flocking to the mosques to pray. They greet each other with
‘Eid-Mubarak,’ which means ‘May you enjoy a blessed festival.’
International Women’s Day
Held annually on March 8th, a global cele-

bration honors women throughout the world,
of which Azerbaijan takes part. There are pre-
sentations and films about women’s issues,
empowerment workshops, etc.
Conclusion
In Azerbaijan, national holidays are more

than just days off; they're moments of reflec-
tion and unity. As the country strides for-
ward, these celebrations serve as reminders
of its resilience and aspirations. They bring
people together, reaffirming bonds and shap-
ing a collective sense of belonging. Through
the celebration of its history and culture,
Azerbaijan embraces its diversity and charts
a course towards a brighter tomorrow.
