When is Shavuot 2027?
Shavuot 2027 is on Saturday, 12 June 2027 — Saturday. That is 213 days from today (11 November 2026) — 30 weeks and 3 days, or about 7.0 months. It is a Jewish observance. Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed.
How the countdown is worked out
The countdown is the number of days from today to the holiday's date: Saturday, 12 June 2027 minus 11 November 2026 is 213 days. The count is in calendar days — it counts the days you have to wait, not the number of midnights, and it does not count today. The countdown timer recomputes the number live, second by second, and the days until calculator does the same calculation for any date you choose. If the holiday is in a different time zone from you, the day starts at a different moment — but the date is the date, and the countdown is in days, so the time zone does not change the number.
What is Shavuot?
Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, marks the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, fifty days after Passover. Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed.
How Shavuot is observed
People study Torah late into the night, eat dairy foods such as cheesecake, and decorate homes and synagogues with greenery. It is a public holiday in Israel.
How the date is worked out
Shavuot is a moveable observance: its date changes from year to year. The table below gives the dates for 2026, 2027 and 2028, so you can see the pattern — and for planning more than a year ahead, use the days until calculator with the date for the year you need.

Shavuot 2027 in the calendar
Shavuot 2027 is the 163rd day of 2027 — a year of 365 days — and it falls in ISO week 23 of the year. There are 202 days left in the year after it, and 30 days in June 2027. In the Northern Hemisphere it is summer; in the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are reversed.
The week number matters more than people think: in business and government across Europe, dates are often given as week numbers, and the week number finder gives the ISO week for any date. The day-of-year number is used in astronomy, in logistics and in some payroll systems. And the days-left figure is the useful one for planning the rest of the year: after Shavuot 2027 there are 202 days — 28 weeks — left in 2027.
Planning for Shavuot 2027
213 days is 6 months — plenty of time to plan. If Shavuot means travel, book it now: fares and hotels are usually cheapest months in advance, and the popular dates sell out. If it means time off work, put the request in early, especially if the holiday falls on a weekday — Saturday is a working day for most people, so the day off needs to be booked. And if it means gifts or preparations, the countdown is long enough that a little planning each week is worth more than a rush in the last few days.
Shavuot 2027 falls on a Saturday — a weekend day — so most people get the day without taking time off. The practical effect is that the celebrations spread across the weekend, and the Friday or Monday around it is often taken as well — so if you are booking travel, the whole weekend is the busy period, not just the day itself.
The countdown in other units
The countdown to Shavuot 2027 is 213 days — which is 30 weeks and 3 days, 5112 hours, 306,720 minutes, or about 7.0 months. Of those 213 days, 152 are weekdays and 61 are weekend days — so if you are counting working days, there are 152 of them left before the holiday. The days between dates calculator works out the same numbers for any two dates, and the business days calculator counts the working days excluding public holidays.
Shavuot around the world
As a Jewish observance, this day follows the Hebrew calendar, and Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed. It is a public holiday in Israel, and in other countries it is observed by Jewish communities — with time off work depending on the employer and the country. The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, so the Gregorian date moves from year to year.
