Easter Store Closures: Are Target, Walmart, and Costco Open?

Easter falls on April 5, 2026. The date moves each year because it follows a lunar-based rule.

How the Easter date is set

The holiday is the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. The full moon follows the spring equinox on March 20.

In 2026 the Paschal full moon occurred on April 1. That makes Easter Sunday April 5.
