April 2027 has 30 days, running Thursday, April 1 through Friday, April 30. It contains no federal holiday, so all 22 of its weekdays are working days.
April 2027 is unusual for what it lacks. It carries no federal holiday, no time change, no equinox or solstice, and — because Easter arrives early, on March 28 — none of the Holy Week dates that normally anchor an April calendar.
What it does carry is the federal tax deadline on Thursday, April 15, the start of Passover at sundown on Wednesday, April 21, and Orthodox Holy Week running from April 25.

Tax Day 2027 falls on Thursday, April 15
The federal income tax filing deadline for the 2026 tax year is Thursday, April 15, 2027.
The deadline moves only when April 15 falls on a weekend or on Emancipation Day, a District of Columbia holiday observed April 16.
In 2027, April 15 is a Thursday and April 16 is a Friday, so the standard date applies with no extension.
April 2027 calendar closures by institution
April 2027 has no federal closure at all. The table below is the exception list rather than a closure schedule:
| Institution | Any date in April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Federal offices | Open every weekday |
| Banks, Federal Reserve schedule | Open every weekday |
| U.S. Postal Service | Open every weekday |
| NYSE and Nasdaq | Open every weekday |

Events in April 2027
Month-long observances running through all of April 2027:
- National Autism Acceptance Month
- National Poetry Month, established by the Academy of American Poets in 1996
- Stress Awareness Month
- National Child Abuse Prevention Month
- National Volunteer Month
- Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month
Passover begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 21, 2027 and runs eight days in the Diaspora, ending at nightfall on Thursday, April 29.
It is fixed to 15 Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar, so its Gregorian date moves each year.
Because Western Easter fell on March 28, Orthodox Holy Week lands in late April 2027.
Orthodox Palm Sunday is April 25, Orthodox Good Friday is April 30, and Orthodox Pascha follows on Sunday, May 2 — five weeks after the Western date. The gap is one of the widest in the cycle.

How many days, weeks and working days in April 2027
April 2027 has 30 days, 4 full weeks plus 2 days, 22 weekdays, and 22 working days, because no federal holiday falls in the month.
The calculation:
- April always has 30 days.
- 30 ÷ 7 gives 4 complete weeks with 2 days remaining.
- Eight of the 30 days fall on a Saturday or Sunday, leaving 22 Monday-to-Friday weekdays.
- No federal holiday falls in April, so the weekday count and the working-day count are identical: 22.
22 out of 30 is the highest ratio of working days to total days available to any 30-day month.
A 30-day month can hold at most 22 weekdays, and it reaches that only when it opens on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
April 2027 calendar weekday counts
| Weekday | Occurrences |
|---|---|
| Thursday | 5 |
| Friday | 5 |
| Saturday | 4 |
| Sunday | 4 |
| Monday | 4 |
| Tuesday | 4 |
| Wednesday | 4 |
Five Thursdays and five Fridays. The month opens on a Thursday and closes on a Friday, so it begins and ends mid-week and produces two partial calendar weeks at the boundaries.
April 2027 calendar week numbers and day-of-year positions

April 2027 moon phases
Times are U.S. Eastern Daylight Time. Daylight saving time began on Sunday, March 14, 2027 and runs through Sunday, November 7.
| Phase | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| New Moon | Tuesday, April 6 | 7:51 p.m. EDT |
| First Quarter | Tuesday, April 13 | 6:56 p.m. EDT |
| Full Moon — Pink Moon | Tuesday, April 20 | 6:27 p.m. EDT |
| Last Quarter | Wednesday, April 28 | 4:17 p.m. EDT |
Three of the four moon phases fall on a Tuesday, and all four peak in the afternoon or evening Eastern time.
The Pink Moon takes its name from moss phlox, an early-spring North American wildflower, not from any colour change in the Moon.
At 6:27 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, April 20, peak illumination lands close to sunset across the eastern United States, so the Moon rises already essentially full that evening.
Frequently asked questions
How many working days are in April 2027?
22. April 2027 has 22 weekdays and no federal holiday, so nothing is subtracted. This is the maximum a 30-day month can hold, reached only when the month opens on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
Is there a federal holiday in April 2027?
No. April carries no entry in the federal holiday schedule under 5 U.S.C. 6103 in any year. Tax Day, Earth Day and Administrative Professionals Day are all widely marked but none closes federal offices, banks or the postal service.
When is Easter in April 2027?
It is not. Easter Sunday 2027 falls on March 28, in the previous month. Orthodox Easter falls on Sunday, May 2, 2027, in the following month. April 2027 sits between the two, holding Orthodox Holy Week from April 25 but neither Easter itself.
