It depends on the region and moon sighting over there.

Arafat was on Friday the 29th so Eid is on Saturday 30th. But some people go by a calculation done before the moon was even sighted. Just go with your comunity and have a blessed Eid.

------------------------
Based on its criteria to use astronomical calculations for determining the dates of the Islamic Lunar Calendar consistently throughout the year, the Fiqh Council of North America has decided that Eid al-Adha in North America this year will be on Sunday, December 31, 2006 (Dhul Hijjah 10, 1427).
For the month of Dhul Hijjah the Astronomical New Moon (conjunction) will occur on Wednesday December 20, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. GMT (i.e., 9:00 a.m. EST, and 6:00 a.m. PST ). On Thursday, December 21, 2006, the new crescent will be sightable in Australia, South East Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Americas. Thus the first day of Dhul Hijjah will be Friday, December 22, 2006.
