Family Day – Canada

The next Family Day is on Monday, February 15, 2027 – in 153 days.

In Canada it's a regional holiday. Some states, provinces or regions take the day off and others don't, so check what applies where you live.

When is it? Family Day falls on the 3rd Monday of February. Because the rule points at a weekday rather than a fixed date, it moves every year, which is exactly why the table below is worth a bookmark. Next time round is Monday, February 15, 2027, 153 days from now.

Which weekday does it land on? Always the same day: every one of the eleven years in the table puts Family Day on a Monday. In eleven of those it sits next to a weekend, turning it into a three-day break. Those are the years to book early. You can open the printable calendar for any year in the table and see the date in context.

What to expect on the day. It depends entirely on where you are. In the states or regions that observe it, expect the usual public holiday pattern of closures. Everywhere else in Canada it's a normal working day, which is worth remembering if you're arranging anything across regional lines. In 2027 it falls in February, which also holds Valentine's Day on the 14th. Worth seeing them together before you commit to dates.

Putting it in your own calendar. You don't need to. Every calendar on this site already shows Family Day for whichever country you've selected. What's worth adding is everything around it: the travel, the cover arrangements, who's visiting when. Open the month, click the days and type. Keep a free account and the notes stay with you between devices, and you can send someone a read-only link so you're both working from the same dates.

Every date here is worked out from the official rule rather than copied off a list, so the later years are as reliable as this one. If a date looks wrong for your region, please say so. Regional holiday rules do change, and we'd rather fix the rule than leave it.
