An Islamic commemorative holiday, that is one of the most important holidays to Shi'ite Muslims. Shia Islam marks this day when the Prophet Muhammed announces Ali ibn Abi Talib, his cousin and son-in-law, as his successor.

Date details: Eid al-Ghadir is celebrated on the 18th of Dhu Al-Hijjah on the Islamic Calendar and can vary from year to year on the Gregorian (Western) calendar.

General practices: Praying, feasts, giving gifts, and giving thanks to Allah.

Potential accommodations: Avoid scheduling important academic deadlines, events, or activities on this date. Employees will likely ask to take a vacation day on the first day, and that request should be granted if at all possible. If planning an evening event, provide food accommodations if requested (Islamic dietary restrictions apply).
