Carnival 2027: Monday, February 8, 2027.

When is Carnival 2027?

Carnival 2027 peaks on Monday, February 8, 2027, and Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras), February 9, 2027, right before Ash Wednesday. The date moves every year because it is tied to Easter: Carnival ends 47 days before Easter Sunday.

In Rio de Janeiro and Salvador the parades and street parties start on the Saturday before, and in New Orleans the Mardi Gras season runs for weeks before Fat Tuesday.

How to use the countdown

  1. 1

    Days, hours, minutes and seconds update every second using your device's clock, so the countdown ends at midnight in your time zone.

  3. 3

    Go fullscreen

    Click Fullscreen to show big numbers on a TV, projector or party screen.

    Share or embed

    Send the link to friends, or copy the embed code to put the countdown on your website or blog.

A countdown that works every year

The countdown URLs have no year in them, like /en/countdown/christmas. Once a date passes, the page starts counting to the next one automatically: after Christmas 2026 it shows the days until Christmas 2027. Bookmark it once and use it forever.

The number of days is written on the page itself, so you see it even before the live clock loads. Below it you get the dates for the coming years, handy for planning trips and time off.

Moving dates: Carnival, Easter and Chinese New Year

Christmas and New Year are fixed, but Carnival and Easter move every year. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, and Carnival is set from it (47 days earlier). Chinese New Year follows the lunar calendar and falls between late January and mid-February. The countdown does the math for you.

Countdown FAQ

How many days until Christmas?

Open the Christmas countdown: the number of days is shown at the top of the page, and the live clock adds the hours, minutes and seconds until midnight on December 25.

Which time zone does the countdown use?

The live counter uses the clock on your phone or computer, so the date arrives at midnight in your own time zone, wherever you are.

What happens after the date passes?

On the day itself the page shows a greeting. After that it automatically counts down to the next year's date.

Can I put the countdown on my website?

Yes. Copy the code under "Embed on your site" and paste it into your page. The widget shows the live clock with a credit link to Day Apps.

How do I show the countdown in fullscreen?

Click the Fullscreen button below the counter; click again or press Esc to exit. Some phones, like the iPhone, don't allow fullscreen in the browser; turn the phone sideways instead.
