Easter in Marietta 2027: egg hunts, brunch and services

Last checked Oct. 5, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Easter 2027 is almost six months away, and no organizer had posted 2027 dates when we checked. Below are the city’s and county’s most recent events, each marked with its year, so you know what to expect and where to look. We never guess a new date.

Easter 2027 is Sunday, March 28. Good Friday is March 26, and spring break for Marietta City Schools and Cobb County schools follows the next week, April 5-9; see our spring break guide.

Easter services

Churches post Easter service times in the weeks before the holiday. We will add sunrise and Easter Sunday services here as congregations publish them on their own sites. Send yours through our contact page.
