When Is Mother’s Day in Mexico in 2027?

Mother’s Day in Mexico—Día de las Madres—falls on Monday, May 10, 2027. Mexico observes it every year on May 10, whatever day of the week that happens to be.

Why Mexico’s date does not move

Mexico uses a fixed date, May 10. That means the observance was Sunday in 2026 but will be Monday in 2027 and Wednesday in 2028. In the United States, the date follows a different rule: the second Sunday in May, which falls on Sunday, May 9, 2027.

Making plans across borders

If you’re sending a card or gift from the United States, put both dates on your calendar so a delivery intended for Mexico doesn’t arrive on the U.S. holiday instead. Check local delivery eligibility and cutoff times before ordering. A family call or shared meal can also mark the day without a shipment.

Is May 10 a mandatory holiday from work?

Día de las Madres is widely celebrated, but it is not generally a nationwide mandatory day off under Mexico’s federal labor holiday list. Individual schools, employers and public institutions may follow different arrangements. The Mexico calendar reference identifies the Monday, May 10, 2027 observance.
