Lunar Calendar 2027
This is the Chinese lunar calendar for 2027, with every Gregorian date matched to its lunar month and day. The lunar year of the Goat (Ding-wei) begins on Saturday 6 February 2027 and runs to Tuesday 25 January 2028: 12 months of 29 or 30 days, 354 days in all, with no leap month. The month starts and the 24 solar terms are taken from the Hong Kong Observatory’s conversion tables for 2026 and 2027, and the traditional festivals (Lantern, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Qixi, Mid-Autumn, Double Ninth, Dongzhi, Laba) are placed on their lunar or solar-term dates. Look up any date, print all 12 months as a PDF with the lunar day in every square, add the month starts, solar terms and festivals to your calendar app with an .ics file, or download every day as a CSV.

Everything runs in your browser: nothing you pick is uploaded, and only the preview month, week start, paper and calendar-file choices are remembered in this browser. Lunar month starts and the 24 solar terms are from the Hong Kong Observatory’s Gregorian–Lunar conversion tables for 2026 and 2027, which use Hong Kong time (UTC+8); calendars kept in other time zones can differ by a day in some months. Full moon times are from the US Naval Observatory, converted to UTC+8. Festivals are shown on their traditional lunar or solar-term dates; which days are public holidays varies by place. PDF export uses jsPDF and svg2pdf.js (MIT licence).

Is there a leap month in 2027?
No. The Hong Kong Observatory tables for 2026 and 2027 have no leap month, so the year of the Goat has 12 months: 6 of 30 days and 6 of 29 days, 354 days in all.
When is the Mid-Autumn Festival 2027?
Wednesday 15 September 2027, the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. The full moon is the next day, 16 September, at 07:03 Hong Kong time.
When is the Dragon Boat Festival 2027?

When is Qingming 2027?
Monday 5 April 2027. Qingming (Bright & Clear) is one of the 24 solar terms, so it follows the sun rather than the moon and usually falls on 4 or 5 April.
What are the 24 solar terms?
Points that split the sun’s yearly path into 24 equal steps of 15 degrees, about 15 days apart. In 2027 they run from Xiaohan (Moderate Cold) on Tuesday 5 January 2027 to Dongzhi (Winter Solstice) on Wednesday 22 December 2027; Lichun (Spring Commences) is Thursday 4 February 2027.
Why does each lunar month start on a new moon?
In the Chinese calendar the first day of a month is the day of the new moon. We checked it: every month start in the Hong Kong Observatory tables for 2026 and 2027 falls on the date of a new moon in the US Naval Observatory’s list, read in Hong Kong time (UTC+8).
Why might another calendar show a different date?
The dates here are worked out for Hong Kong time, UTC+8, as in China. A calendar kept for another time zone can put a new moon or a solar term on the day before or after in some months.
Can I add the lunar dates to my calendar?
Yes. Tick the lunar month starts (13), solar terms (24) and festivals (11) you want and download the .ics file; with all three you get 48 all-day events for 2027.
