Last checked Oct. 17, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. It is written early: 2027 Easter events are not announced yet, so the dates below are from Easter 2026 unless marked otherwise, and we say which. Facts come from each organizer’s own page, linked below.

Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28. Good Friday is March 26, and Mobile County Public Schools’ spring break is the week after Easter, March 29 to April 2. In 2026 both big public egg hunts, the City of Mobile’s and Mobile County Parks’, were on the Saturday before Easter. We will post the 2027 dates when the city and county announce them, usually in February or March.

Church hunts. Christ Church Cathedral held its children’s egg hunt, for toddlers through second grade, in Mardi Gras Park after its Easter Sunday service in 2026; families were asked to bring a dozen stuffed plastic eggs per child, with no nuts or chocolate (Christ Church Cathedral). Churches and neighborhood groups can send their 2027 hunts through our contact page.

Church services

Mobile’s downtown churches post Holy Week schedules in Lent. As an example of what to expect, Christ Church Cathedral, at Church and St. Emanuel streets beside Mardi Gras Park, held these services in 2026 (its Easter page):

2026 date Service
Maundy Thursday, April 2 Eucharist at noon; 5:30 p.m. Eucharist with foot washing
Good Friday, April 3 Noon in the church
Holy Saturday, April 4 The Great Vigil of Easter, 7:30 p.m., beginning in the garden
Easter Sunday, April 5 Festival Eucharist, 10 a.m.

The cathedral asks Easter visitors to come early because attendance is large; there is street parking and public lots across Church Street. We will add 2027 times for downtown churches as each posts them.

Easter brunch

We list Easter brunch only from a restaurant’s own website or menu, and none had posted a 2027 Easter menu as of Oct. 17. Our brunch in Mobile guide lists restaurants that serve Sunday brunch year-round, with links to their sites.
