March 2027 calendar details: Monday start, week numbers, moon phases and holidays
Day count, weekend total, week numbers and lunar events for the month, worked out by the same code that draws the calendar in the maker.
- 31 daysMon 1 – Wed 31 Mar
- 8 weekend days4 Saturdays, 4 Sundays
- ISO weeks 9–13Week 9 starts 1 Mar
- New moon 8 Mar09:29 UTC
- Full moon 22 Mar10:43 UTC
The shape of March 2027
Because March 2027 begins on a Monday and ends on a Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each appear five times while the other four weekdays appear four times. The month therefore holds 23 weekdays and only 8 weekend days — four Saturdays and four Sundays. Whether the grid starts on Monday, Sunday or Saturday, the month fits into 5 rows, and a Monday-first sheet has no empty cells before the 1st.
2027 is a common year, so February stops at the 28th and March opens on the same weekday as February did. The zodiac hands over from Pisces to Aries around 20–21 March, the same days the sun crosses the equator. Traditional March gifts follow aquamarine or bloodstone for the birthstone and the daffodil or jonquil for the flower.
In the ISO 8601 system, Monday 1 March is the first day of week 9, so the month runs through weeks 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Week 13 does not finish until Sunday 4 April, which is why the last row of a Monday-first grid reaches into April.
March 2027 moon phases: new moon, full Worm Moon and quarters
The month opens with a waning crescent, passes a new moon on Mon 8 Mar and reaches the Worm Moon on Mon 22 Mar (UTC) — the full moon that sets the date of Easter.
| Phase | UTC | India (IST) |
|---|---|---|
| New Moon | Mon 8 Mar, 09:29 | Mon 8 Mar, 14:59 |
| First Quarter | Mon 15 Mar, 16:24 | Mon 15 Mar, 21:54 |
| Full Moon (Worm Moon) | Mon 22 Mar, 10:43 | Mon 22 Mar, 16:13 |
| Last Quarter | Tue 30 Mar, 00:54 | Tue 30 Mar, 06:24 |
The printable grid marks only the new moon and the full moon. Both fall far from midnight UTC this month, so every region offered in the maker shows the new moon on 8 March and the full moon on 22 March; only the unmarked last quarter slips back to Mon 29 Mar in the Americas. Use Moon dates in time zone in the maker if you want the icons to follow a different region in another year.
March 2027 is also a “Paschal” month: the full moon on 22 March is the first one after the equinox, so Western churches keep Easter on the following Sunday, 28 March.
March holidays by country, 2027–2030: public holidays and Easter dates
Fourteen countries and territories, listed for March 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. Pick a country under Holidays (2027–2030) in the maker and its March dates appear on the calendar in small type, red by default, with a colour picker to change it. Easter decides most of the variation: when it is early, March gains Good Friday and Easter Monday; when it is late, the month is quiet.
| Country | Dates | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | Mon 1 Mar Mon 8 Mar Fri 26 Mar Sat 27 Mar Sun 28 Mar Mon 29 Mar | Labour Day (Western Australia) Canberra, Labour, Eight Hours (state) Good Friday Easter Saturday (most states) Easter Sunday (most states) Easter Monday |

| United Kingdom | Wed 17 Mar Fri 26 Mar Mon 29 Mar | St Patrick’s Day (N. Ireland) Good Friday Easter Monday (not Scotland) |
| United States | Mon 1 Mar Tue 2 Mar Fri 26 Mar Mon 29 Mar Wed 31 Mar | Casimir Pulaski Day (Illinois) Texas Independence Day (Texas) Good Friday (some states) Seward’s Day (Alaska) Cesar Chavez Day (some states) |
March 2027 is the busiest of the four years because Easter lands on 28 March: Good Friday on the 26th and Easter Monday on the 29th reach Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa (as Family Day), St. Helena, the United Kingdom and parts of the United States and Malaysia. Eid al-Fitr is expected on 9–10 March depending on moon sighting, which is why India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and the UAE carry provisional dates. Holi is on Monday 22 March in India. South Africa’s Human Rights Day falls on a Sunday, so Monday 22 March is the day off. Australian states split the second Monday: Canberra Day (ACT), Labour Day (Victoria), Eight Hours Day (Tasmania) and Adelaide Cup Day (South Australia) are all on 8 March, while Western Australia keeps Labour Day on 1 March.
March 2027 week numbers: ISO weeks 9–13 versus US weeks 10–14
The same Monday can be called week 9 or week 10 depending on the rulebook, so check which one your organisation uses before you print.
| Dates (Mon–Sun) | ISO 8601 week | US / Canada week |
|---|---|---|
| Mon 1 – Sun 7 Mar | Week 9 | Week 10 (1–6 Mar), Week 11 (7 Mar) |
| Mon 8 – Sun 14 Mar | Week 10 | Week 11 (8–13 Mar), Week 12 (14 Mar) |
| Mon 15 – Sun 21 Mar | Week 11 | Week 12 (15–20 Mar), Week 13 (21 Mar) |
| Mon 22 – Sun 28 Mar | Week 12 | Week 13 (22–27 Mar), Week 14 (28 Mar) |
| Mon 29 Mar – Sun 4 Apr | Week 13 | Week 14 (29–31 Mar) and on into April |
1 January 2027 is a Friday, so ISO week 1 begins on Monday 4 January; eight weeks later Monday 1 March opens week 9. The US system instead counts the partial week that contains 1 January as week 1, which pushes every March number one or two above its ISO twin. Pick the standard your payroll, school or logistics partner reports in — the maker also offers Saturday-start Middle East numbering, plain 1-to-5 row counting and a no-numbers option.
Observances and seasonal dates in March 2027 beyond the public-holiday table
Religious, civic and seasonal markers that sit alongside the country holidays above — from Mothering Sunday and Women’s Day to Purim, Palm Sunday and quarter-end.
| Date (2027) | Observance | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Mon 1 | Meteorological spring begins · St David’s Day (Wales) | Weather services in the Northern Hemisphere count spring as 1 March – 31 May. |
| Sat 6 | Maha Shivaratri | Observed on the night of 6 March in India, following the panchang. |
| Sun 7 | Mothering Sunday (UK) | Fourth Sunday of Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter. |
| Mon 8 | International Women’s Day · Commonwealth Day · new moon | Commonwealth Day is the second Monday of March. |
| Tue 9 or Wed 10 | Eid al-Fitr (expected) | Ends Ramadan; the exact day depends on local moon sighting. |
| Sun 14 | US and Canada clocks go forward · Pi Day | Daylight saving time starts at 2:00 a.m. local time. |
| Mon 15 | Ides of March · first quarter moon | The Roman mid-month date; Julius Caesar died on it in 44 BC. |
| Wed 17 | St Patrick’s Day | Celebrated across Ireland and in many diaspora cities. |
| Sat 20 | March equinox, 20:25 UTC | Nowruz, the Persian New Year, follows on 20–21 March depending on region. |
| Sun 21 | Holika Dahan · Palm Sunday (Western churches) | Holika Dahan is lit after sunset ahead of Holi. |
| Mon 22 | Holi (India) · full Worm Moon · World Water Day · Purim begins at sundown | Purnima tithi runs from 6:21 p.m. IST on 21 Mar to 4:13 p.m. IST on 22 Mar. |
| Tue 23 | Purim | Follows the Fast of Esther on Monday 22 March. |
| Thu 25 | Maundy Thursday | Opens the Easter Triduum. |
| Fri 26 | Good Friday | Public holiday in many countries. |
| Sun 28 | Easter Sunday · European and UK summer time begins | Easter 2027 lands on 28 March; Passover follows on 22 April. |
| Mon 29 | Easter Monday | Holiday in the UK and much of Europe. |
| Wed 31 | Quarter-end · financial year-end in India and Japan | Last working day of Q1 for most companies. |
Three major spring traditions — Eid al-Fitr, Holi and Easter — sit inside the same three weeks this year, and Purim joins them on 22–23 March. If you coordinate people across faiths or countries, a printed March sheet with each date tinted or tagged saves a lot of back-and-forth.
Clock changes and the spring equinox in March 2027
Two daylight-saving switches and one equinox make March the month when time zones are hardest to keep straight.
When each region changes its clocks
| Region | Change | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| United States and Canada (most regions) | Sun 14 Mar, 02:00 → 03:00 | Clocks go forward one hour |
| United Kingdom and the EU | Sun 28 Mar, 01:00 UTC | GMT → BST; CET → CEST |
| Australia and New Zealand | No change in March | Their daylight saving ends in early April |
| India, Japan, China and most of Asia | No change | Fixed offsets all year |
The two-week gap between North America and Europe
| Pair | Before 14 Mar | 14–27 Mar | From 28 Mar |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York ↔ London | 5 h until Sat 13 Mar | 4 h from Sun 14 to Sat 27 Mar | 5 h again from Sun 28 Mar |
| India ahead of New York | 10 h 30 m until Sat 13 Mar | 9 h 30 m from Sun 14 Mar | 9 h 30 m (unchanged) |
| India ahead of London | 5 h 30 m until Sat 27 Mar | 5 h 30 m (unchanged) | 4 h 30 m from Sun 28 Mar |
The United States switches two weeks before Europe, so for the stretch from 14 to 27 March a New York–London call that normally has a five-hour difference has only four. Mark both Sundays on your sheet and recurring meetings stop catching anyone out.
The spring equinox in your time zone
| Place | Local date and time |
|---|---|
| UTC | Sat 20 Mar, 20:25 |
| New York (EDT) | Sat 20 Mar, 16:25 |
| London (GMT) | Sat 20 Mar, 20:25 |
| India (IST) | Sun 21 Mar, 01:55 |
| Tokyo (JST) | Sun 21 Mar, 05:25 |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Sun 21 Mar, 07:25 |
For people in Asia and Australia the equinox lands on Sunday 21 March even though the instant is the same worldwide. Note that the equinox and the full moon on 22 March are only two days apart — a combination that fixes Easter on 28 March.
A week-by-week view of March 2027
Use this rhythm as a starting point when you decide what to note on the sheet.
- Week 9 · 1–7 MarMeteorological spring opens on Monday. Maha Shivaratri falls on Saturday and Mothering Sunday closes the week — a good moment to set monthly targets.
- Week 10 · 8–14 MarNew moon, Women’s Day and Commonwealth Day on Monday; Eid al-Fitr around Tuesday or Wednesday; US and Canadian clocks go forward on Sunday.
- Week 11 · 15–21 MarIdes of March, St Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, the equinox on Saturday and Holika Dahan plus Palm Sunday on Sunday — the busiest social week.
- Week 12 · 22–28 MarHoli, the full Worm Moon and the start of Purim all on Monday; Good Friday on the 26th; Easter and the European clock change share Sunday 28 March.
- Week 13 · 29 Mar – 4 AprEaster Monday starts the week and Wednesday 31 March closes the quarter and the financial year in India and Japan; April opens on a Thursday.
How to make a March 2027 calendar with holidays, moon phases and week numbers
The maker works entirely on your device, so there is nothing to upload and the finished file appears in seconds.
- Dial in the sheetStart with the column on the left: confirm the year, choose how weeks are numbered, set the first day of the week and decide whether to show moon icons. The centre preview redraws with every change.
- Pick a styleThe template strip above the preview offers twenty-four layouts — fourteen colour designs plus a ten-strong black-and-white collection — and the right-hand column changes the typeface. A serif face suits a wall sheet; the condensed face squeezes more text into small cells.
- Tap a date to annotateSelecting any day opens a compact dialog titled with that date. Add a short note, colour the text, shade the cell and attach a marker such as Time up for 14 and 28 March or Money for 31 March, then press Save.
- Save, print or shareDownload a PDF for the printer, a PNG for presentations or a JPG for messaging apps. You can also copy the share link, which restores every choice and note on the recipient’s screen.
Getting a clean printout of your March sheet
- Choose the paper before the design. The size you pick in the maker should match the size selected in your printer dialog. A4 against A4 or Letter against Letter avoids the clipped edges that most people blame on the printer.
- Use Print fit › Stretch to page. It lengthens the rows so the grid fills the whole printable area in portrait or landscape instead of hugging the top of the sheet — useful because March fits comfortably into five rows.
- Go landscape for note-heavy months. Wider cells give a quarter-end schedule or an Easter-week rota room for two or three lines of text per day.
- PDF for paper, PNG for slides, JPG for chat. PDF keeps the exact page size, PNG keeps hairlines and icons razor sharp, and JPG produces the smallest file for email or messaging.
- Mind the margins. Most home printers cannot reach the paper’s edge. If a border is clipped, scale to roughly 95% in the print dialog.
- Keep tints light. A pale weekend tint reproduces well on office printers; deep tints, solid fills and the dark Script header use far more ink, so keep them for a single showpiece copy.
Twenty-four March layouts and where each one belongs
Every layout draws the same dates, week numbers, moons and holidays; only colour, typography and structure differ. Fourteen colour designs come first, followed by a ten-design black-and-white collection.
Classic
The default: a bordered title box naming the month above a clean seven-column grid. It reads like the March page of a traditional wall calendar.
Lines
A large light “March 2027” at the left and a thin black grid with small date numbers in each corner, so the open boxes stay free for handwriting.
Rainbow
Each weekday column gets its own pastel, which helps children and shift teams find “their” day at a glance.
List
All 31 days stacked as rows with the weekday at both edges — ideal for mileage logs, rotas and study diaries.
Elegant
A serif MARCH on the left, the year on the right and a rounded table below; landscape places the notes box beside the grid.
Script
A flowing handwritten “March” over a huge pale year and a teal header row. The most decorative choice, good for gifts and invitations.
B&W
Hard black rules on white. It photocopies without muddying and uses the least ink when you print a whole stack for a team.
Simple
Pale gridlines, blue accents and roomy cells. Works on a fridge, a desk pad or a binder divider.
Ocean
A cool, rain-washed palette that suits study corners, clinics and reception boards.
Forest
Fresh greens for the sowing and pruning season — a natural match for garden and allotment plans.
Sunset
Warm cream and orange for family hubs where Holi, Easter and Eid gatherings all need space.
Lavender
Soft violet with a strong accent. A favourite for exam revision timetables and habit trackers.
Gray
Quiet slate tones that blend into an office wall until a deadline needs spotting.
Boxed
Each date sits in a small square, Saturday in blue and Sunday in red, leaving the rest of the cell free for writing.
Black & white collection
Ten ink-friendly layouts for a stack of March handouts: Plain, Note Cells, Ledger, Weekend Blocks, Tabs, Lined Notes, Diagonal, Receipt, Certificate and Calligraphy. Receipt suits mileage and quarter-end logs, Lined Notes suits revision plans, and Certificate or Calligraphy suit an Easter or Holi invitation. Notes, icons, moons, holidays and print fit all work with them.
What you get on a March 2027 sheet: holidays, moon phases, week numbers and more
Every layer can be switched off, so the page carries only what you actually need.
Twenty-four working layouts
Fourteen colour designs from Classic and Lines to Script and Boxed, plus ten black-and-white layouts from Plain to Calligraphy. Each is its own structure rather than a recolour, and you can switch at any point without losing a note.
Week numbers on your terms
Choose ISO 8601, the US / Canada count from the week containing 1 January, the Saturday-start Middle East count, simple row numbers or none — then override the first weekday separately.
Lunar markers that follow your region
A gold disc marks the full moon on 22 March and a hollow ring marks the new moon on 8 March, positioned with astronomical formulas and adjustable by time zone.
Notes, cell colour and 24 icons
Write up to 40 characters per day, tint the cell, colour the text and choose icons such as Deadline, Money, Party, Travel, Work, Reminder or Done.
Holidays for 14 countries
Choose a country and its March public holidays for 2027–2030 print in small coloured type in the corner of each date. Weekend tint, portrait or landscape, and a Print fit option that stretches the sheet to the page in either orientation sit alongside it.
One link, everything inside
Copy the link or push it to WhatsApp, Gmail, email, X, Facebook or LinkedIn. The recipient sees your exact March, notes included.
Practical ways to use a March 2027 calendar
March is a month of deadlines, festivals and time changes at once, and paper still shows all three in one glance.
Financial year-end close
India and Japan close their books on 31 March. Tag filing days with the Deadline or Money icon and shade the last week so nobody forgets the cut-off.
Exam and revision timetables
March is exam season for many boards and universities. A List layout sheet with the Done icon turns a revision plan into a visible streak.
Garden and home projects
Frost dates fade, seed trays come out and spring cleaning begins. Mark sowing windows, paint days and the equinox on a Forest sheet.
Festival and family coordination
Eid, Holi, Purim and Easter all fall within three weeks. Use the Party, Gift and Meal icons to see which weekends are already spoken for.
Cross-time-zone teams
Drop a Time up icon on 14 and 28 March so remote colleagues remember when New York, London and Berlin shift and meeting slots move by an hour.
Quarter-end reporting
Print an A3 landscape sheet with ISO weeks 9–13 visible and chart the closing sprint for sales, finance or operations.
How the March grid, notes, moon phases, week numbers and share link work
Notes are tied to dates
Each note is saved under a full date key such as 2027-03-17 along with its text colour, optional cell fill and optional icon. Because the key is the date itself, changing layout, hiding week numbers, rotating to landscape or resizing the window never separates a note from its day. The editor lives outside the sheet, so it can never leak into an exported file.
How the March grid and week counts are built
The code finds the weekday of 1 March, subtracts your chosen first weekday to get the number of leading blank cells and then lays out 31 days in as many rows as needed — five for every setting in 2027. ISO week numbers are read from the Thursday of each row. For the US and Middle East styles the count starts from the week that contains 1 January, so a Sunday-first March shows 10 to 14, whereas “simple” numbering just counts rows from one.
Moons, paper size and the share link
Moon phases are calculated from standard astronomical series and filtered to the window between 1 March and 1 April in the time zone you select. The paper menu sets the page dimensions used for export, and landscape swaps width and height. For sharing, only the settings you changed are converted to compact JSON, encoded as URL-safe text and placed after the #s= mark of the address, a part of the URL browsers never send to a server. Reset to defaults clears both your browser’s saved copy and that fragment.
Curious facts about the month of March
Eight small stories behind the third month of the year.
- Named for MarsThe Latin Martius honoured Mars, the Roman god of war and, originally, of farming. Campaigns and fieldwork both resumed once winter ended.
- The old first monthRome began its year in March, which is why September, October, November and December still mean seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.
- The IdesIn March the Ides fall on the 15th. Julius Caesar was assassinated on that date in 44 BC, giving the day its dark reputation.
- Twin start daysIn any common year, March begins on the same weekday as February and November. In 2027 all three open on a Monday.
- A verb unrelated to the monthThe word “march” meaning to walk in step comes from Old French marchier and has no connection with the month’s name.
- Equal day and night, roughlyAround 20 March the sun stands over the equator, so daylight lasts close to twelve hours almost everywhere on Earth.
- Lion in, lamb outAn old English proverb says March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, describing rough early weather that settles by month-end.
- Two seasons, one dateThe same 1 March opens meteorological spring in the north and meteorological autumn in the south.
How March lost its place as the first month
From a war god’s month at the start of the Roman year to the month of clock changes.
- Early RomeMarch (Martius) was the first month of the ten-month Roman year, and the new year was celebrated at its start.
- 153 BCRoman consuls started taking office on 1 January, so the civil year moved away from March even though old traditions lingered.
- 44 BCJulius Caesar was killed in Rome on the Ides of March, 15 March, in the Senate meeting at Pompey’s Theatre complex.
- Medieval EuropeMany regions placed the new year on 25 March, the feast of the Annunciation known as Lady Day, rather than on 1 January.
- Before 1752In England and its colonies the legal year began on 25 March, so documents dated 1–24 March were often written with a double year such as 1731/32.
- 1918The US Standard Time Act, signed on 19 March 1918, created daylight saving time, and clocks first moved forward on 31 March of that year.
- 2007The United States moved the start of daylight saving time to the second Sunday of March, where it remains today.
- Modern EuropeEuropean Union countries switch together on the last Sunday of March, which is 28 March in 2027, two weeks after North America.

March 2027 calendar FAQ: holidays, moon phases and week numbers
Where can I get a free printable March 2027 calendar with no sign-up?
Use the maker at the top of this page. It opens a clean March 2027 grid that you can print directly or save as a PDF, PNG or JPG. Everything runs inside your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. A sheet with no notes typed in is simply a blank calendar.
Why does March 2027 begin on a Monday?
1 January 2027 is a Friday. January has 31 days, which is four weeks plus three days, so 1 February lands on a Monday. February 2027 has exactly 28 days, so 1 March is a Monday too. In every common year February and March open on the same weekday.
How many weekdays and weekend days does March 2027 have?
March 2027 has 23 weekdays and 8 weekend days. Saturdays fall on the 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th, and Sundays on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each occur five times.
Which ISO week numbers cover March 2027?
ISO weeks 9 to 13. Week 9 starts on Monday 1 March, week 10 on 8 March, week 11 on 15 March, week 12 on 22 March and week 13 on 29 March, which runs into 4 April.
When are the new moon and full moon in March 2027?
The new moon is on Monday 8 March at about 09:29 UTC and the full Worm Moon is on Monday 22 March at about 10:43 UTC. First quarter is on 15 March at about 16:24 UTC and last quarter is on 30 March at about 00:54 UTC.
How does the March full moon decide the date of Easter 2027?
Western Easter is the first Sunday after the church’s Paschal full moon, which comes on or after 21 March. The church uses a fixed table rather than the astronomical moon, but in 2027 both point to 22 March, so Easter Sunday is 28 March, with Good Friday on 26 March and Easter Monday on 29 March.
When do the clocks change in March 2027?
Most of the United States and Canada move forward on Sunday 14 March at 2:00 a.m. local time. The United Kingdom and the European Union follow on Sunday 28 March at 01:00 UTC. Between the two dates the usual five-hour gap between New York and London shrinks to four hours. India does not change its clocks.
When does spring start in 2027?
The astronomical spring equinox is on Saturday 20 March at about 20:25 UTC, which is 01:55 on Sunday 21 March in India and Sunday 21 March morning in Australia. Meteorologists count spring from Monday 1 March.
Which religious and civic observances fall in March 2027?
Maha Shivaratri (Sat 6), Mothering Sunday in the UK (Sun 7), International Women’s Day and Commonwealth Day (Mon 8), Eid al-Fitr (expected Tue 9 or Wed 10), St Patrick’s Day (Wed 17), Holi (Mon 22, with Holika Dahan on the evening of Sun 21), Purim (Tue 23), Good Friday (Fri 26), Easter Sunday (Sun 28) and Easter Monday (Mon 29). Lunar-calendar dates can differ by a day between regions.
When are Holi and Maha Shivaratri in 2027?
In India, Holika Dahan is lit on the evening of Sunday 21 March and Rangwali Holi is played on Monday 22 March, with the Purnima tithi running from about 6:21 p.m. IST on the 21st to 4:13 p.m. IST on the 22nd. Maha Shivaratri is observed on Saturday 6 March.
How do I show public holidays on the March 2027 calendar?
Open the “Dates & weeks” group in the maker, choose a country under Holidays (2027–2030) and the March holidays appear in small type in the top-right corner of each date. A colour picker appears once a country is selected, with a one-click return to the default red. Pick “None” to hide them again. The holidays table on this page lists the same dates for every country.
Which countries have Good Friday and Easter Monday in March 2027?
Good Friday is on 26 March and Easter Monday on 29 March. Australia, Canada (Good Friday only), Hong Kong, Ireland (Easter Monday only), New Zealand, Singapore (Good Friday), South Africa (as Family Day), St. Helena, the United Kingdom, the Philippines (Holy Week from 25 March) and some US states observe them. In India, Good Friday is a holiday on 26 March.
Are there public holidays in March 2028, 2029 and 2030?
Yes, but they differ sharply. Easter is on 16 April 2028 and 21 April 2030, so those Marches only hold regional days, St Patrick’s Day and, in India, Holi (11 March 2028, 19 March 2030) and Maha Shivaratri (2 March 2030). In 2029 Good Friday is on 30 March and Holi on 1 March. Switch the year buttons above the table to see every country.
Why do some March holiday dates say expected or provisional?
Eid al-Fitr depends on when the crescent is sighted, so governments confirm it only days before. For 2027 the UAE expects 9 or 10 March, while India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore are planning around 10 March. Irish and Scottish observance rules for a Sunday St Patrick’s Day in 2030 are also confirmed late. Always check the official gazette before booking leave.
Which week-number system should I choose for March 2027?
Use ISO 8601 (weeks 9–13) for business, logistics and most of Europe, the US / Canada style (weeks 10–14 on a Sunday-first grid) for North American school and payroll calendars, and the Middle East style for Saturday-start weeks. “Simple” counts rows from 1 and “None” removes the column. The numbering menu also sets the usual first weekday, which you can override.
How do I add moon phases to the March calendar?
Open the Moon phases group in the maker and switch on “Moon phases — full & new”. A filled gold disc marks the full Worm Moon on 22 March and a hollow ring marks the new moon on 8 March. A time-zone menu moves the icon if a phase falls close to midnight in your region.
Which paper size suits a March planning sheet?
A3 or Tabloid in landscape gives the most room for an office wall or a quarter-end board. A4 or Letter suits a binder or a home printer, and A5 fits a diary or desk pad. Every size works in portrait or landscape, and the Print fit option can stretch either orientation to fill the page.
How do I mark clock changes, exams or deadlines on the calendar?
Click or tap the date, type a short note, choose a text colour, tint the cell if you like and pick one of the 24 icons. Time up works well for 14 and 28 March, Deadline or Money for 31 March. The dialog never appears in a downloaded PDF, PNG or JPG.
Can I shade weekends or a school holiday week?
Yes. The Weekend tint picker colours every Saturday and Sunday in every one of the twenty-four templates, and the cell background option in each day’s dialog lets you tint individual days — handy for marking an Easter break. A day’s own colour always wins over the weekend tint.
Can I use this page for March in a different year?
Yes. Change the year box to any value from 1900 to 2100 and the weekday layout, ISO week numbers and moon icons are recalculated. The holiday table covers 2027–2030, while the observances and clock-change sections describe 2027 only.
Can I send my March calendar to someone with every note intact?
Yes. The share section builds a link that carries your year, template, font, week numbering, weekend tint and notes. Send it by WhatsApp, Gmail, email, X, Facebook or LinkedIn, or copy it anywhere. Nothing is uploaded — the settings travel inside the address itself.
Will my notes be saved, and how do I start again?
Your settings and notes are stored in your browser’s local storage and return when you reopen the page in the same browser. To start over, press Reset to defaults at the bottom of the Calendar setup column; it clears notes, colours and layout choices and removes any share fragment from the address bar.
