Dates and weekdays for everything in the catalog that falls within the coming year.

The same 68 countdowns grouped by what they are, in an order that does not change with the date.

Never lose track of the date

Some events sit on the same day every year, like Christmas on 25 December or Halloween on 31 October. Others move, like Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November, or Easter, which follows the spring full moon and can land anywhere between 22 March and 25 April. Remembering a fixed number of days never works, because the answer changes the moment the clock passes midnight.

That is why each countdown here is computed rather than typed in. Each event carries a rule, the rule produces the date for any year, and the page resolves the next occurrence from today. After an event passes, the counter rolls forward on its own, so the page stays accurate without anyone maintaining it.

Moving holidays, handled

For holidays defined by a weekday rule, such as the last Monday of May or the second Sunday in May, the tool resolves the exact calendar date for the year in question. Easter and everything tied to it, including Good Friday and Mardi Gras, use the Gregorian computus, the same algorithm used to publish Easter dates decades in advance. Lunar festivals such as Diwali and Chinese New Year follow published dates, because they have no simple Gregorian rule.

The seasons appear twice, on purpose

Spring, summer, autumn and winter count down to the meteorological start of the season, on the first of March, June, September and December. The equinox and solstice pages count down to the astronomical start. Those are two different, equally real answers to "when does summer start", and this site publishes both instead of picking one and hiding the other.
