Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28, during Lee County's spring break. Egg hunts, Good Friday closures and brunch, updated as organizers post 2027 dates.

Last checked Oct. 8, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. It is early: no 2027 egg hunt dates are out yet, so the egg hunt details below are from 2025, the most recent year the organizer published, and say so. We never guess a new date. Sources: Lee County Parks and Recreation’s 2025 egg hunt release (PDF), the School District of Lee County’s 2026-27 calendar (PDF) and the City of Fort Myers’ holiday collection schedule.

Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28, which puts it inside Lee County’s spring break: public schools are out March 22-26 for spring break and Good Friday, and again on Monday, March 29. We will post the 2027 egg hunts here as the county and churches announce them.
