When is Passover 2027?

Passover begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 21, and ends Thursday, April 29, 2027. It follows the Hebrew calendar, so the date changes each year, and it lasts 8 days for most Jewish families outside Israel.

Passover is a Jewish spring holiday. The Passover story tells how the Israelites left slavery in Egypt, and Jewish families remember it at a Seder meal with matzah, a Seder plate and the Four Questions. The What Is Passover? poster explains it for K to 2nd grade.

What is on a Seder plate?

Most Seder plates hold a shank bone, a roasted egg, bitter herbs called maror, charoset, a green vegetable called karpas and often a second bitter herb. The Seder Plate Cut and Glue and the Draw a Seder Plate Organizer explain what each food helps families remember. Check for food allergies before sharing real foods; charoset often has nuts.
