Holidays in Pakistan for the year 2025 will come across national events, religious celebrations and cultural happenings of critical importance to the communities of the country. Ranging from the widely celebrated New Year and Independence Day to religiously celebrated occasions like Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Azha and Ashura, colorful festivities fill the nation.
Kashmir Day and Pakistan Day demonstrate deep sentiments towards national pride while Christmas and Quaid-e-Azam Day portray the historical events behind it. Each year, the dates of holidays vary perhaps because of the lunar calendar comprising Eid and Ashura. Being public holidays they compel the people to rejoice with their families, celebrate their cultural heritage and remind them of the unforgotten history and achievements of the country.
