About Purim

Remembers how Esther saved the Jews of Persia, with costumes, gifts of food and reading the Megillah.

In 2027 it falls on a Tuesday; we add later years once their dates are published. Also in March 2027: World Meteorological Day (23 Mar), Pakistan Day (23 Mar) and National Chips and Dip Day (23 Mar). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s the 14th of Adar in the Hebrew calendar (Adar II in a leap year, as in 2027).
