When is Easter This Year in Idaho, Washington, and Utah? 

While many may forget the true meaning of Easter, with it being a religious holiday, not everyone will celebrate, but most look forward to the holiday each year. It is exciting to do Easter egg hunts, watch children go through their Easter baskets, and celebrate the true meaning of Easter. The holiday is never on the same day each year, like other holidays, making it tough to know exactly when it will be taking place each year. Sometimes it can fall at the end of March, and other times it can be at the beginning of April, the middle of April, or rare times near the end of the month. This year, Easter will be happening on April 20, meaning it is still well over a month away.
