About this countdown
This countdown targets Easter Saturday on Saturday, March 27, 2027, set by the rule: The Saturday before Easter. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Easter Saturday is a state/territory holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Easter Saturday, the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, is a public holiday in six of Australia's eight states and territories — everywhere except Western Australia and Tasmania. It mainly guarantes penalty rates for weekend workers.
