Easter Saturday

Easter Saturday is part of the Easter celebrations and will be observed on Saturday, April 30th, 2024.

Easter Saturday follows Good Friday and is a Christian festival that, according to tradition, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death. According to the New Testament, this occurred on the third day of his burial in 30AD.

Easter Saturday 2024 Dates, Public Holiday, Stores Open & Church Service

The Easter long weekend in Australia will be celebrated with several public holidays, starting with Good Friday on the 29th of March, Easter Saturday on the 30th of March, Easter Sunday on the 31st of March and Easter Monday on the 1st of April. This creates a 4-day long weekend for Australians, meaning many families use this time to travel and spend time with their family and friends.

Sydneysiders traditionally celebrate the extended Easter Holiday by not eating meat on Good Friday (except fish) and giving chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday.

Even though most stores close on Good Friday, most supermarkets and shopping centres open for business on Easter Saturday. Movie theatres also remain open, as do restaurants, petrol stations and many attractions in Sydney, including SEA Life Sydney Aquarium, Taronga Zoo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb.

Thousands of people travel during the Easter long weekend, so there is a lot of traffic, and accommodation books up quickly.
