Spring break in Marietta 2027: school dates and things to do

Last checked Oct. 5, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. School dates come from each district’s own calendar; hours from each venue’s own page. Spring break camps for 2027 had not been announced when we checked; we will add them as they are.

Spring break 2027 is Monday, April 5, to Friday, April 9, for both Marietta City Schools and the Cobb County School District, so most Marietta families are off the same week. Easter Sunday falls the week before, on March 28; see our Easter guide.
