Wisconsin Legislature formally recognizes Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as the two major Islamic holidays in the state

Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of the 10th month of the Islamic calendar and celebrates the conclusion of Ramadan's month-long fast

Eid al-Adha occurs on the 10th day of the 12th month of the Islamic calendar and marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah

Recognition aims to highlight the holidays' importance to schools and employers, potentially enabling Wisconsin's approximately 70,000 Muslims to fully observe their religious celebrations

Resolution is non-binding and does not establish official state holidays or mandate time off
