Our spring countdown timer shows exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the first day of spring on Friday, March 20, 2026. The vernal equinox marks the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere!
The spring equinox (also called the vernal equinox) occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward. On this day, daylight and nighttime are nearly equal in length. It marks the astronomical beginning of spring and has been celebrated by cultures worldwide as a time of renewal and rebirth.
Many cultures celebrate the arrival of spring. Nowruz (Persian New Year) coincides with the spring equinox, as does Holi in India. Easter often falls near the equinox, and many countries celebrate with spring festivals, flower shows, and outdoor markets.
