When Is a Holiday

Our calculator shows the exact date and day of the week of any holiday for a chosen year — from 2025 to 2030 — plus a countdown. Pick a holiday and a year and you'll instantly know, for example, what date Easter 2026 is or what day of the week Thanksgiving 2025 falls on.

Fixed vs. Movable Holidays

Holiday dates come in two kinds:

• Fixed — always the same calendar date: Christmas (December 25), New Year (January 1), US Independence Day (July 4), Valentine's Day (February 14).
• Movable — the date changes every year: Easter depends on the lunar cycle and the spring equinox, Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November, Ramadan follows the Islamic lunar calendar.

Seasons — the Astronomical Start

For the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) the calculator shows the astronomical start — the day of the equinox or solstice — not the first of the month. For example, the first day of fall lands on the autumn equinox (usually September 22 or 23).

How to Use It

• Choose a holiday from the list (grouped by type).
• Pick a year, from 2025 to 2030.
• Hit «Find out» to see the date, the day of the week, and the countdown.

On the result page, a table shows that holiday's dates across every year at once, so it's easy to compare how they shift.
