Ramadan 2027 times in Denver: imsak and iftar from day 1 to day 29
In Denver, Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first tarawih prayer on the Sunday evening, subject to the sighting of the crescent. On day 1, imsak is at 05:19 and iftar at 17:28, so the fast lasts 12 h 09. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 05:03 and iftar to 17:44, for a fast of 12 h 41. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 04:43, iftar at 17:59 and the fast reaches 13 h 16.
What the timetable shows in Denver from imsak to isha
From left to right, each day shows imsak, fajr, sunrise, iftar and isha. For Denver, day 1 gives fajr at 05:29, sunrise at 07:01 and isha at 18:54, while day 29 gives fajr at 04:53, sunrise at 06:23 and isha at 19:24. Over the month, the fast here gains 67 minutes: 36 because imsak comes earlier and 31 because iftar comes later.
How Denver compares with New York
Denver follows Mountain Time, two hours behind New York, so the hours on the clock cannot be compared and the fast is judged by its duration. On day 1, the fast lasts 12 h 09 in Denver against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 3 minutes longer than in New York. At mid-month Denver fasts 12 h 41 and New York 12 h 40, which is a minute more, whereas on day 29 Denver reaches 13 h 16 and New York 13 h 17, a minute less.
Between day 1 and day 29 the fast grows by 67 minutes in Denver and by 71 minutes in New York. Denver lies at about 40 degrees north, close to New York, so the fast follows almost the same curve, with the extra altitude changing the feel of the day rather than the clock.
Why check the mosque calendar in Denver
Under the Muslim World League method used here, fajr is measured at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees, and imsak falls ten minutes before fajr. Colorado mosques might choose other angles or a built-in margin, and some depend on a calculated calendar while others watch for the crescent locally, which explains small differences between calendars. Denver, Aurora and the suburbs along the Front Range have several mosques, and their calendars can differ by a day at the start of the month, so check with yours.
Denver during the fasting month
Denver is the capital of Colorado and sits at about 1,600 metres, a full mile up, where the Great Plains meet the foot of the Rocky Mountains, along the South Platte River. The air is dry and the sun is strong. February and March are sunny but can turn quickly: a warm afternoon may be followed by a snowstorm and nights that fall far under freezing. Snow usually melts fast.
Dry air and altitude in Denver
The altitude and the dry climate mean that dehydration is more noticeable, so drink plenty of water between iftar and imsak. Many residents work in aerospace, health care, energy, government offices or the nearby universities, and the sunny winters make walking and skiing popular. Postpone intense mountain trips until after Eid, and plan the drive to the foothills with weather alerts in mind.
Iftar along the Front Range
Denver and Aurora host communities from Somalia, Ethiopia, the Middle East, Afghanistan and South Asia, and community iftars alternate between mosques and halls. Sweet tea, dates, soup and rice come first after maghrib. Late in the evening the stars are often clear thanks to the dry air, but temperatures drop quickly after sunset, so bring a warm coat.
Every date here depends on the crescent and is only expected. In Denver, the first fast should be on Monday 8 February 2027, the 27th night should begin on the evening of Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr should fall on Tuesday 9 March if the month has 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March otherwise. Colorado keeps standard time until Sunday 14 March, after Eid, when the clocks go one hour ahead. A few simple habits help:
- Drink water steadily after iftar
- Check mountain road alerts before travelling
- Wear a hat and sunscreen in bright snow
- Keep a warm coat for cold nights
Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Denver?
The calendar to follow in Denver is the one used by the mosque where you pray, because it gives the community a common start and a common Eid. The timetable is a calculated aid for planning, with a fast of 12 h 09 on day 1 and 13 h 16 on day 29. If your mosque begins at a different time or follows other angles, shift every figure by the difference and keep the same rhythm.
How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Denver?
On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:03 and iftar at 17:44, so the fast lasts 12 h 41 in Denver, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:13, sunrise at 06:43 and isha at 19:09. When the second half comes, plan your suhoor and the nights of tarawih with a fast of this length in view.
Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Denver and how do you manage work or school?
Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday in Denver, and schools stay open, so ask for an excused absence or a personal day in advance. Many outdoor and construction workers should talk to their supervisors about heavy tasks in dry, high-altitude conditions. Students at the city's colleges can let instructors know about the dates early in February.
