About Seward's Day 2027
Seward's Day 2027 falls on Monday, March 29. It lands on a Monday, so 2027 brings a three-day weekend from Saturday, March 27.
Seward's Day, on the last Monday in March, is an Alaska state holiday marking the March 30, 1867 signing of the treaty that bought Alaska from Russia. Alaska state offices close, but it is not a federal holiday, so mail, banks and the stock market run normally.
