Easter and the weeks around the break

Easter Sunday is March 28, 2027, so the city’s egg hunt and church services land just before the break; see our Easter page. Last year the Come-See-Me Festival, Rock Hill’s 10-day spring festival, ran April 16-25, 2026, according to comeseeme.org; its 2027 dates had not been posted. The Old Town Market opened its 2026 season Saturday, April 4.

What is open and closed

  • Pools: the city’s public pools open only in summer. See our summer camps and pools page.
  • Trash: a normal week; spring break is not a city holiday.
  • Fire Museum and Kids Learning Center: the city says the museum at Fire Headquarters closed in February 2026 for building work, tentatively through September 2026; check the city’s museum page or call 803-329-7220 before you plan a visit.
