Eid al-Fitr, widely called Idul Fitri or Lebaran, is a major Indonesian national holiday marking the end of Ramadan. The government separately identifies national-holiday dates and collective-leave days, so the total break can extend beyond the festival dates.

History of Eid al-Fitr
The Islamic feast begins after Ramadan. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Religious Affairs conducts an official isbat session to determine the start of Shawwal using astronomical information and moon-sighting reports.
Importance of Eid al-Fitr
Lebaran combines worship, reconciliation and large-scale family reunion. It is also one of the country's most consequential periods for workforce scheduling and domestic mobility.
How Eid al-Fitr Is Celebrated in Indonesia
Muslims attend Eid prayers, seek forgiveness through halal bihalal visits, share festive food and give zakat al-fitr. Many people travel home in the mudik tradition.
Office Impact
National-holiday and approved collective-leave dates close government offices, subject to essential-service arrangements. Private employers should distinguish statutory holidays from any additional company leave.
Bank Impact
Branch closures and payment cut-offs can extend across the official break. Bank Indonesia and commercial banks publish service arrangements closer to the holiday.
School Impact
Education calendars usually provide an Eid break, but exact closing and reopening dates depend on the relevant education authority and school.
Travel Information
Mudik produces exceptional demand on roads, railways, ferries and flights. Reserve early and rely on official transport and traffic notices.
