Passover 2027: Dates

Passover (Pesach) is the spring festival of the Exodus from Egypt.

For comparison, Passover 2026 began at sundown on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and ended at nightfall on Thursday, April 9, 2026.

Hebcal lists the daytime date of each day. Jewish days begin at sundown, so Passover begins at sundown on the evening Hebcal lists as the eve, and the dates are the same everywhere in the United States. Candle-lighting and nightfall times depend on your location and are not on this page.
