Easter and Good Friday Dates 2027-2036
Easter is a movable feast, so its date changes every year. Good Friday always sits two days before Easter Sunday, and the pair drives much of the spring calendar for families and travel plans.
The table below lists Good Friday and Easter Sunday for every year from 2027 to 2036, so you can look far ahead without re-checking a calendar each time. Spring break often falls near Easter, but it is scheduled separately — see the spring break guide for that timing.
