About Qingming Festival

Tomb-sweeping day, when families tend their ancestors’ graves.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; we add later years once their dates are published. Also in April 2027: National Caramel Day (5 Apr), International Day of Conscience (5 Apr) and First Contact Day (5 Apr). 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 follows the solar calendar, usually 4 or 5 April. Hong Kong’s 2027 holiday is on 5 April.
