About this countdown
This countdown targets Town Meeting Day on Tuesday, March 2, 2027, set by the rule: First Tuesday in March. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Town Meeting Day is a state holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Town Meeting Day, the first Tuesday in March, is a Vermont state holiday when towns gather to vote on budegts and elect local officers. Vermont state offices close and employees may take unpaid leave to attend. It is not a federal holiday, so mail and banks operate normally.
