May 2027 calendar

May 2027 opens on a Saturday, closes on Memorial Day, and its 31 days need six week rows, which makes it an unusually tall month. This page prints it at the exact size of your paper, Letter or A4, with the federal holiday already marked and every date worked out by calendar arithmetic.

Holidays in May 2027

A single federal holiday lands in May 2027, and it takes the month's final dated cell. The list beneath the sheet is computed from the federal definitions, the same rules the sheet uses to place its mark, so the list and the grid cannot disagree. The familiar May observances are included for reference; they appear in this list and are left unmarked inside the cells.

How this May 2027 page works

May starts on a Saturday and ends on a Monday. Its 31 days require six rows in either week-start layout. This gives each row less height than in a five-row month, so use the standard layout if you need more writing space than coloring top provides. The Week rows readout above the sheet reads 6 rows with either week start, and Memorial Day's name prints just below the 31 in the month's last dated cell.

The sheet is an SVG drawn in millimeters: the layout's 12.7 mm margin is written into the geometry as 12.7 mm, with no pixel rounding. A print stylesheet declares the physical page to the dialog (215.9 × 279.4 mm for Letter, 210 × 297 mm for A4), so the browser lays the drawing onto paper whose size it already knows, and because the browser itself is the PDF engine, Print / Save as PDF produces the file on your device. The dates are computed too: May's Saturday opening, Monday close and six-row span all come from date arithmetic, and Memorial Day lands where the federal last-Monday-of-May rule puts it.

There are no week numbers and no lunar phases. Observances without federal standing, Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo among them, stay in the list below and out of the grid squares, where an unofficial mark could pass for an official one. Two options change the sheet. The Monday-start layout rebuilds the grid with the weekend paired at the far edge; May still needs its six rows either way. The coloring-top layout draws the same grid shorter, low on the page, and frames a blank panel above it for a child's artwork. Leave the dialog's scale at 100%, or "Actual size"; a fit-to-page setting prints the month smaller than true.

Frequently asked questions

Why does May 2027 need six week rows?
Because it opens on a Saturday and holds 31 days. In the Sunday-start grid, May 1 sits alone at the end of the first row, and the 30th and 31st spill into a sixth. Start the week on Monday and the count is still six rows, with the month's closing Monday alone on the final one. Six rows is as tall as a month grid gets, so each day cell gives up a little height.
When is Memorial Day in 2027?
Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 31, 2027, the final day of the month, so its mark sits in the last dated cell of the grid. It is defined as the last Monday of May, so it never needs an observed date the way fixed-date holidays do when they land on a weekend. It also closes the school-year stretch and, by long habit, opens summer, so this page pairs naturally with June on the same clipboard or fridge.
Are Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo marked on this calendar?
No. Both appear in the list under the sheet (Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 9, 2027, and Cinco de Mayo on Wednesday, May 5), and neither gets a mark in the printed boxes. The grid marks only federal holidays, whose dates follow a single statutory rule; observances are kept differently from household to household. The day cells are sized for handwriting, so if either date matters in your house, write it in after printing.
What is the coloring-top layout on the May 2027 sheet?
It is the same six-row grid, drawn at reduced height and set at the bottom of the page, with an empty framed panel taking the space above. The panel is for a child to fill: a drawing up top and the family's plans below, on one sheet for the refrigerator that gets saved when the month is over. Every date, the weekday header and the Memorial Day mark stay on the sheet; only the row height shrinks.
Does the May calendar print at the right size on Letter and A4?
Yes. Choose the paper size before you print and the sheet is regenerated for that page's true dimensions. In the dialog itself, confirm the scale control reads "Actual size". A fit or shrink option scales the drawing down so its millimeters are no longer true, and a six-row May has less cell height to spare than an ordinary month.
