Best Answer

The Islamic Calendar has only 354 days, so every holiday shifts by 11/12 days on the Gregorian Calendar. (Thus it could not be said that Eid-Al-Fitr happens every August because it may only happen twice in August in 33 years.)

The Eid occurs on the first new moon after the month of Ramadan (1st of Shawwal).
