Palm Sunday 2029 is still ahead. It falls on Sunday, 25 March 2029, 940 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Next Palm Sunday, and for the always-current countdown see the next Palm Sunday.
Palm Sunday 2029 is Sunday, 25 March 2029
There are 940 days between 28 August 2026 and Palm Sunday 2029, which falls on Sunday, 25 March 2029. That is 134 weeks and 2 days, or 640 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2029-03-25 in ISO form and 3/25/2029 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 12 of 2029, and it is day 84 of 365.
How the date of Palm Sunday is decided
The Sunday before Easter Sunday.
That makes it a computed date: there is no fixed day and no simple weekday rule, so it has to be worked out from a formula or a calendar of its own each year. In 2029 it works out as Sunday 25 March.
Palm Sunday is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.

Both the date and the weekday move, because the rule is not tied to either.
Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 640 working days above.
