Easter 2027 in the United States

When is Easter 2027?

215 days away

Easter 2027 falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027. It is 215 days away.

Easter Sunday in the United States is the Gregorian Easter date. It is a civic and religious observance, not a federal public holiday: Federal Reserve Banks, USPS and the NYSE typically operate on the surrounding weekdays.

Central day on the Christian calendar — resurrection Sunday — though many families also know it through egg hunts, brunch, and new spring clothes. The date jumps around each year because it follows the moon and the spring equinox.

What typically stops

National picture for four named services. A local branch, a retailer or a private employer can still differ — this is not a store-by-store matrix.

Is Easter a public holiday?

No at federal level. Easter Sunday is not listed in 5 U.S.C. § 6103. Federal offices do not close for Easter, and Good Friday is not a federal holiday either — though it is an NYSE holiday in most years, which is a different calendar.

Some states and private employers close on Good Friday. That is not a national rule and is not claimed here.

What day is Easter?

Gregorian Easter Sunday is computed from the same Computus used across Western churches. It falls between March 22 and April 25.

This site does not publish Orthodox Easter unless a sourced dataset for that calendar is added. The date on this page is the Gregorian date.
