Not a U.S. federal public holiday

What Easter Sunday means in the United States
Easter is part of the U.S. calendar vocabulary people search for by year because the practical question is not only the name of the day, but the exact weekday and date. Use the date line above as the answer first: it is the part that matters for travel, school schedules, family plans, payroll cutoffs, event promotion, and calendar subscriptions.
For U.S. planning, always separate three ideas: the calendar date, the federal holiday status, and the local closure pattern. A date can be culturally important without being a federal public holiday, and a federal holiday can still have exceptions for private employers, hospitals, retail, transportation, and emergency services. That is why this page links the exact date to month and year calendar views instead of treating the name alone as enough.
If you are using this page for work, compare the date against your employer handbook, school district calendar, bank holiday list, carrier service alerts, or event venue schedule. If you are using it for family planning, add the date to a subscribed calendar rather than typing it once into a note, because year-specific pages are easiest to forget when the next year rolls around.
At a glance
- Use the first date line as the direct answer for year-specific searches.
- Check federal status separately from school, bank, employer, and local closures.
- Open the related month calendar when the surrounding week matters.
- Use the multi-year table for travel, campaigns, and recurring events.
Practical planning
- Confirm the date against any institution that can set its own closure calendar.
- For travel or shipping, check cutoff dates around the holiday week, not only the day itself.
- If the day affects a campaign or event, include both the weekday and the month-day in copy.
- Subscribe or print the matching calendar if you need the date beyond a one-time lookup.
How 2000 compares to 1999
In 1999, the date was Sunday, April 4, 1999. In 2000, the date is Sunday, April 23, 2000. The calendar “month-day” can move from year to year, but the underlying rule stays consistent. The wall-calendar gap is 385 day(s) later year over year, which is normal when a recurring holiday pattern shifts against the calendar. Use that when you compare PTO, retail promotions, or school notices that are tied to a specific day of the month, not only the holiday name.

When is Easter Sunday 2000, exactly?
Easter Sunday in 2000 is Sunday, April 23, 2000 (use your local time zone for same-day events). The date on the calendar is fixed by the U.S. rule in our guide, not a guess. If you need a single ISO-style line for travel systems, the date is 2000-04-23.
Why does Easter Sunday land on that Sunday in 2000?
Easter Sunday is a movable feast based on the Western Easter calculation, so its date changes every year. For many people, the more important part is the weekday: when the rule pins the day to a Monday, Thursday, Sunday, or an Easter-related offset, you can plan closures and family plans even before you look up the exact month-day.
