Not yet announced

Government of PEI, Department of Education and Early Years (one provincial calendar for the Public Schools Branch and the CSLF) hasn't published its 2027-28 calendar yet. We don't guess: the dates go up here, and into the calendar feed, as soon as they are official.

Dates are inclusive school days off, Monday to Friday. Individual schools can add closure days of their own (training days, PA days, inset days), so check with your school before you book anything non-refundable.

What these dates do to demand

PEI's 2027 March Break runs straight into Easter, giving Island families an 11-day window from 19 to 29 March.
PEI's March Break falls after both New Brunswick's (1 to 5 March) and Nova Scotia's (8 to 12 March), so Maritime demand is spread across three weeks.
Islander Day (15 February 2027) lines up with Family Day in most provinces.

Also off school during March Break and Easter

More regions off at once means fuller flights and resorts that week. See the busiest weeks
