When is Holi 2027?

The day after the full moon of the Hindu month of Phalguna (February or March). Holi is the Hindu spring festival of colours. On the evening before, bonfires are lit for Holika Dahan, remembering the victory of good over evil. On Holi itself people throw coloured powder (gulal) and water at each other, share sweets such as gujiya and visit friends and family.

In 2027, Holi falls on a Monday. In 2026 it was on a Wednesday, March 4. In 2028 it will be on a Saturday, March 11.

How the Holi date is worked out

It follows a lunisolar calendar: months follow the Moon, with an extra month added every few years to keep the festival in the same season. That is why it moves on the everyday calendar but stays within about a month. From 2026 to 2030 it falls between March 1 and March 22. How we calculate every date.

How many days until Holi in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Holi, so on the day before it shows 1. The weeks box splits that into whole weeks and days, the weekdays box counts Monday to Friday (useful for work and school planning, though public holidays are not taken out), and sleeps are the nights left. The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Holi in your own time zone.
