The exact date of Holi 2027

Holi 2027 falls on Monday, March 22, 2027. That is a Monday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 81st day of 2027 and sits in ISO week 12. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

Because Holi lands on a Monday, it naturally extends the preceding weekend into a three-day break for anyone whose Saturday and Sunday are already free.

Compared with 2026, when it fell on March 3, Holi 2027 moves about 19 days later in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.
