Java Date format. String to date

I have a String that contains a date.

I'm trying to do so but it gives me an error.

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Fri Mar 20 20:44:49 CET 2015" (at offset 0)
at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:626)

I'm trying this.

String fechaFestivo = c.getString(1);//Fri Mar 20 20:44:49 CET 2015

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy");
Date date = format.parse(fechaFestivo);

Your SimpleDateFormat is using the default locale, which may not be English. In that case, the abbreviated name of the day will not be recognized.

Make sure to use the correct locale with this constructor:

SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.US);

Try to replace your SimpleDateFormat for DateFormat, something like that :

String fechaFestivo = c.getString(1); //Fri Mar 20 20:44:49 CET 2015

DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
Date date = format.parse(fechaFestivo);
