When Is the Feast of Trumpets This Year?

When does the Biblical holiday the Feast of Trumpets happen this year? The calendar the Bible gives is a bit different from the Gregorian calendar we are used to now, so even though the Bible gives set dates for when holidays like the Feast of Trumpets, it doesn't always land at the same dates on our calendar. In the Bible, the Feast of Trumpets falls on the first day of the seventh month.

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as Yom Teruah, which means the Day of Sounding. In Judaism this holiday is commonly referred to as Rosh Hashanah.

So when is the Feast of Trumpets this year in 2024?

October 2-4 on the traditional calendar. Note that on this calendar days start in the evening. That means Trumpets starts at sundown on the evening of October 2 and goes until sundown on the evening of October 4.

Why is it celebrated for two days on this calendar?

This is such a good question because if you read what Scripture says about this holiday, you see that it is only a one day event (Leviticus 23:24). In Judaism it is observed for two days because of Talmudic regulations on confirming when the month started. Basically the theory was that someone would see the new moon and then need to testify that it had happened and therefore the month had started. By the time this procedure was concluded the day would be over. So Trumpets had already happened and then they would celebrate the next day.

Is it necessary to observe it for two days?

Unless you are working to adhere to Jewish law, feel free to stick with what the Bible says and celebrate for one day. If you're going to stick with one day, I would recommend the first date listed.

What happens on the Feast of Trumpets?

Trumpets is to be treated like the regular weekly Sabbath, meaning work is not to be conducted on this day. As the name implies it's a day of sounding shofars or trumpets. Throughout Scripture, shofars were sounded at big events including the coronation of kings, the battle of Jericho, the giving of the law, and at the start of the Jubilee years. It is expected the Messiah will return on the Feast of Trumpets!

Where is the Feast of Trumpets celebrated?

Believers around the world celebrate Trumpets! Special services, Bible studies, worship nights, and dance parties are held in homes, parks, and churches. If you don't have a congregation to meet with feel free to celebrate in your home on your own!

Who celebrates the Feast of Trumpets?

Many people believe that celebrating and honoring the times in the Bible that God says to stop and worship him on, believers in Messiah today can still take part in these special times like the Feast of Trumpets! 

The Feast of Trumpets can be celebrated by anyone who wants to honor the Creator with their participation. Celebrating the Feast of Trumpets is worshipping the Living God!

Where is the Feast of Trumpets in the Bible?

The Bible mentions the Feast of Trumpets in Leviticus 23:23-25, Numbers 29:1, and  Nehemiah 8:1-3.

How can you celebrate the Feast of Trumpets?

Like all the Biblical holidays, celebrating Trumpets can simple or extravagant. It's a Sabbath day, so take the day off from work and set aside chores, home maintenance, and side hustle activities. One of the main points of all the holidays is to remember what God has done so read his word and remind yourself of the work you have seen him do in your life. Music is a significant piece of Trumpets, so it's a great day to put on worship music or attend a worship night if possible.

Here's When the Biblical Holidays Happen in 2025

This is when the Biblical holidays happen in 2025.

If you're looking for next year's dates for Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles you have come to the right place. These holidays have historic and prophetic meaning in Scripture and believers today can take part in that by adding these dates to their calendars!

While the Bible gives specific dates for each holiday, the Gregorian calendar doesn't match up with the Creator's calendar so the dates land a little bit differently each year on our modern calendar. There are also a few different ways to calculate the start of the year and because of that some groups will observe them at slightly different times. What I'm sharing here is the most commonly used set of dates. Whether you go by this calendar or another, mark your calendars for these set apart times!

When do the Biblical holidays happen in 2025?

Passover - April 12-13

Unleavened Bread - April 13-20

First Fruits - April 13-14

Shavuot - June 1-3

Feast of Trumpets - September 22-24

Yom Kippur - October 1-2

Feast of Tabernacles - October 6-13

A couple of things about this: according to this calendar, days start in the evening at sundown. This means that Passover starts on the evening of April 12 and goes through the evening of the 13th. If you do not observe days as starting in the evening, then celebrating Passover the day of April 13th would be appropriate. This calendar also gives an extra day to both the Feast of Trumpets and Shavuot, even though in the Bible they are both just one day events...feel free to just celebrate the first day of those!

It's also important to note that while all of these are special times, some of these days are considered Sabbaths which means we shouldn't work on them. These Sabbath days are the first and last days of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the first and last days of Tabernacles. This means that believers should request off from work or arrange to be away from their business on those days, as well as refrain from shopping, errands, and yard or household projects and chores. 

Sabbath days for 2025:

April 13-14
April 19-20
June 1-2
September 22-23
October 1-2
October 6-7
October 12-13

As well as all weekly Sabbaths, of course.

You have the opportunity to celebrate what God has done by joining in on the Biblical holidays this year!

Biblical Holiday Dates Printable 2024 (traditional calendar)

These are the dates for when the Biblical holidays land in 2024! I made this free printable for you to stick in your planner, on your fridge, desk, or wherever else so that you can be sure to free up these days to celebrate the set apart times of our Creator. All of these holidays are significant, and honoring them will cause your faith to grow tremendously! Some of these days are called Sabbaths in Scripture, which means we are not to do any work on those days and otherwise treat them as the weekly Sabbath. I've made a note of those days so that you can plan accordingly.

There are many different calendars that you could go by that line up the Biblical months with the Gregorian calendar used by our society, and I really don't have any strong opinions on one over another. This is the most commonly used set of dates for Passover, Unleavened Bread, and the rest of the Bible holidays. 

Traditional calendar:

The traditional calendar has days going from sundown to sundown. Holidays start at sundown on the day listed. For example, Passover starts at sundown on April 22 and ends at sundown the next day, April 23. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and the Feast of Trumpets, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.

Passover - April 22-23

Unleavened Bread - April 23-30

First Fruits - April 27-28

Shavuot - June 11-13

Feast of Trumpets - October 2-4

Yom Kippur - October 11-12

Feast of Tabernacles - October 16-24

Sabbath days:

While all of the Biblical holidays are special, some we are to treat the same way as the weekly Sabbath. This means we shouldn't do work on these days (your job, your business, household projects, etc.), or go shopping. Of course you're free to take off work on all the holidays if you'd like, but if you can't take that much time off then these are the days you should prioritize.

First day of Unleavened Bread - April 23-24
Last day of Unleavened Bread - April 29-30
Shavuot - June 11-13
Feast of Trumpets -  October 2-4
Yom Kippur - October 11-12

Biblical Holiday Dates 2023 (Torah to the Tribes Calendar)

Since many of you keep the calendar from Torah to the Tribes, I wanted to share the dates for when the Biblical holidays land this year, according to their calendar. It is not my goal to tell you to keep these dates, the traditional ones, or another calendar. There are pros and cons for many different timelines of when the set apart times land on the Gregorian calendar. Please pray about which calendar YHWH would have you take part in. If you have a community near you, joining in with the dates they use makes it possible to celebrate with other believers.

Again, these are the dates that Torah to the Tribes goes by.

When do the Biblical holidays happen in 2023?

Passover - April 3

Unleavened Bread - April 4-10

First Fruits - April 9

Shavuot - May 28

Feast of Trumpets - September 17

Yom Kippur - September 26

Feast of Tabernacles - October 1-8

Keep in mind, that on this calendar days are considered to be light-to-light. So Passover starts in the morning of April 3, and goes until the next morning.

It's also important to note that while all of these are special times, some of these are also considered Sabbath days which means we shouldn't work on them. These Sabbath days are the first and last days of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the first and last days of Tabernacles.

Whichever dates you go by, make sure to put the Biblical holidays into your calendar!

Biblical Holiday Dates Printable 2023 (traditional calendar)

These are the dates for when the Biblical holidays land in 2023! As usual, here is a free printable for you to stick in your planner, on your fridge, desk, or wherever else so that you can be sure to free up these days to celebrate the set apart times of our Creator. All of these holidays are significant, and honoring them will cause your faith to grow tremendously! Some of these days are called Sabbaths in Scripture, which means we are not to do any work on those days and otherwise treat them as the weekly Sabbath. I've made a note of those days so that you can plan accordingly.

Normally I give a few different sets of dates because there are many different calendars that believers use to line up the Biblical months with the Gregorian calendar our society uses. Right now I'm just giving the traditional calendar because I haven't heard back from ministries that use others. Hopefully it will be updated to include a few more soon!

Traditional calendar:

The traditional calendar has days going from sundown to sundown. Holidays start at sundown on the day listed. For example, Passover starts at sundown on April 5 and ends at sundown the next day, April 6. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and Yom Teruah, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.

Passover - April 5-6

Unleavened Bread - April 6-13

First Fruits - April 8-9

Shavuot - May 25-27

Feast of Trumpets - September 15-17

Yom Kippur - September 24-25

Feast of Tabernacles - September 29 - October 7

A note about Sabbath days:

As mentioned, certain Biblical holidays are to be treated as we would the weekly Sabbath. That means taking time off of professional work, and as many normal household chores and tasks as possible. We don't shop on the Sabbath or run errands. We should prioritize having these days off from work. Most of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of Tabernacles are not Sabbath days, which means we can choose to work, get groceries, etc. if necessary. If possible, I would encourage you to take these days off of work and/or school as a way to change your pace and have fun with the Biblical set apart times. If it's not possible for you to take off every Biblical holiday, prioritize the ones that are Sabbath days!

Sabbath days:

First day of Unleavened Bread - April 6-7
Last day of Unleavened Bread - April 12-13
Shavuot - May 25-27
Feast of Trumpets -  September 15-17
Yom Kippur - September 24-25
First day of Tabernacles - September 29-30
Last day of Tabernacles - October 6-7
