Passover 2029 is still ahead. It falls on Saturday, 31 March 2029, 946 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 Passover, and for the always-current countdown see the next Passover.
Passover 2029 is Saturday, 31 March 2029
There are 946 days between 28 August 2026 and Passover 2029, which falls on Saturday, 31 March 2029. That is 135 weeks and 1 day, or 645 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 2029-03-31 in ISO form and 3/31/2029 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 13 of 2029, and it is day 90 of 365.
How the date of Passover is decided
Begins at sunset on 15 Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar. In the Gregorian calendar this falls in March or April. Because the day begins at sunset, the Gregorian date given is the day the first seder evening falls on.
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 Saturday 31 March.
This date is an estimate, not a fixed point. Passover depends on observation rather than arithmetic, so the date announced locally can differ by a day from any date calculated in advance, and it can differ between countries in the same year. We show the arithmetic approximation and label it, rather than presenting it as settled. If the date matters — for travel, a booking or time off — confirm it with the community or authority you are following. How we produce these dates, and which of them are approximate, is set out on the holiday sources page.
Passover 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 645 working days above.
