About this countdown
This countdown targets Easter Monday on Monday, March 29, 2027, set by the rule: The Monday after Easter. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Easter Monday is a public holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Easter Monday, the day after Easter Sunday, is a nationwide public holiday in New Zealand. Paired with Good Friday it creates a four-day autumn weekend, one of the busiest domestic travel peroids of the year. It is not a US federal holiday.
