Easter weekend brings a mix of closures and special hours. Some businesses close on Good Friday; many close on Easter Sunday, and some open on Easter Monday, which is a public holiday in many countries. This US Letter sign shows the whole weekend in a cheerful spring design. On a soft cream background, decorated eggs in pink, mint, and yellow sit around a peeking cartoon bunny at the top. Easter appears in lilac script with WEEKEND HOURS in spaced capitals beneath. Four rows list hours from Good Friday to Easter Monday, with Easter Sunday closed in pink. A mint greeting line and a garden of tulips and eggs along the bottom complete the page.
Easter 2027 Dates
Easter Sunday falls on March 28 in 2027. Good Friday is March 26, Holy Saturday is March 27, and Easter Monday is March 29. The sample sign uses these dates. Easter moves each year based on the lunar calendar, so check the dates before reusing the sign.
The Spring Easter Design
Pastel colours, decorated eggs, tulips and a friendly bunny make the sign cheerful and family-friendly. The decorated eggs have zigzag bands and dots drawn to fit neatly inside each egg shape. The bunny peeks over the eggs at the top, and the tulips frame the bottom corners.
Editing the Easter Weekend Hours
Each row has a day and date on the left and hours on the right, separated by dotted lines. Click any text to change it. If your business closes on Good Friday too, change its hours to Closed and make it pink to match Easter Sunday.
Good Friday and Easter Monday
In the United States, Good Friday is not a federal holiday, but some businesses, schools and stock markets close. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and many European countries, Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays. Adjust the hours to match local customs.
The Decorated Egg Artwork
Each egg is a group with a coloured shell and decorative bands. Select an egg to recolour it, resize it, or move it. You can also duplicate eggs to create a fuller border or delete some for a cleaner look.
Changing the Greeting
The mint line reads Happy Easter from Petal & Pine Florist! Replace it with your business name, or write a different greeting, such as wishing you a joyful Easter or have an egg-cellent weekend for a playful touch.
Easter Hours for Florists and Garden Centres
Florists and garden centres are busy before Easter, selling lilies, tulips and spring plants. They often open longer on Holy Saturday and close on Easter Sunday. The sample sign belongs to a florist and reflects this pattern.
Easter Hours for Restaurants and Cafes
Restaurants and cafes may host Easter brunch or lunch on Sunday instead of closing. Change Easter Sunday to Easter brunch, 10 AM to 2 PM, and mention reservations. The cheerful design suits a brunch announcement.
Where to Display Easter Hours
Post the sign on your door and window a week or two before Easter. Add copies at the counter and update your website and online listings. Share the sign on social media with a cheerful Easter message.
Printing the Easter Sign
Download a PDF and print on US Letter paper. The light background prints economically. Card stock gives a sturdy sign for the door, and a clear sleeve protects it from spring showers.
Easter Signs for Schools and Churches
Schools often break for Easter, and churches post special service times for Holy Week. Adapt the rows to list service times or school closure dates, and change the greeting to suit your community.
Easter Egg Hunts and Events
Many businesses host Easter egg hunts or family events. Mention an event on a second sign or in the greeting line. The playful design is perfect for promoting a children’s Easter activity.
Easter Sign Colour Palette
The pastel palette of lilac, mint, pink and yellow is classic for Easter. You can change the title colour, the egg colours, or the background to match your brand. Keep the hours text dark for readability.
Easter Weekend Staffing
Easter weekend falls during school holidays in many places, so staff may request time off. Plan rotas early and confirm who opens on Saturday and Monday, when many shops are busier than usual.
Easter Hours for Chocolate and Gift Shops
Chocolate shops, bakeries and gift shops sell Easter eggs, hot cross buns and baskets in the days before Easter. Mention pre-order deadlines and collection times in the greeting line or on a second sign, so customers can collect their treats before you close on Sunday.
Easter Sign Questions
Can I change the dates for next year?
Yes. Edit the dates to match the new Easter weekend.
Can I remove the bunny?
Yes. Select it and delete.
Can I add more eggs?
Yes. Duplicate an egg and move it into place.
Easter Weekend Hours for Supermarkets
Supermarkets and grocery stores are busy on the Thursday and Saturday before Easter as families shop for holiday meals. Many close on Easter Sunday or open for shorter hours. Use the rows to show extended hours on Thursday and Saturday and reduced hours on Sunday, so shoppers can plan their trip for ham, lamb, and hot cross buns.
Easter Hours for Banks and Offices
Banks and offices in many countries close on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Office managers can use this sign with a more neutral greeting, removing the bunny if preferred and listing the dates the office is closed and reopens. The pastel colours keep the notice friendly without feeling too playful.
