Spring Begins
Every year on March 20, 2027, winter officially loosens its grip. Spring Begins marks the March equinox, the precise moment the sun crosses the celestial equator heading north, opening the season of longer days, warmer light, and new growth.

3 ways to celebrate
Plant Something New
Sow seeds indoors or tuck a hardy plant into a pot by the window. Watching green things grow is the oldest spring ritual there is.
Pack an Equinox Picnic
Take lunch outside and eat in the stronger March sun. Notice how high it sits compared to January, and toast the lengthening days.
Tidy a Shared Green Space
Join or organize a park cleanup or community garden workday. Spring is a team project, and every raked bed is a small celebration.
Plan ahead
Spring Begins moves each year (Changes Annually). This year it is Friday, March 20, 2026. Check back for future years.
