Easter 2027 in Charlotte is Sunday, March 28. Good Friday is a CMS holiday and spring break follows. Egg hunts, brunch and services as they are announced.
Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Egg hunts are listed with dates and ages only from each organizer’s own page, and brunch only from restaurants’ own sites. Easter is more than five months away, and most organizers have not posted 2027 plans yet; we add them as they do.
Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28. It falls the weekend before Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ spring break, so many families will be off from Thursday, March 25, through Sunday, April 4.

Egg hunts
As of Oct. 11, no city, county or church egg hunt in Charlotte had posted 2027 dates on its own site. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation lists its spring events, with ages and registration, on its activity site; search “egg” there in February. Charlotte Mecklenburg Library posts spring storytimes and crafts on its event calendar. We will list each hunt here with its date, time and age groups once the organizer publishes it.
Easter brunch
Restaurants typically publish Easter menus a few weeks before the holiday. Our brunch guide lists Charlotte restaurants that say on their own sites that they serve weekend brunch, with days and hours. Easter Sunday is one of the busiest brunch days of the year, so book ahead where a restaurant takes reservations.
Services
Churches post Holy Week and Easter service times on their own websites, usually in March. Catholic parishes in Charlotte list Masses through the Diocese of Charlotte. Check your own congregation’s site for sunrise services and extra Easter Sunday services.
