May is just around the corner, and with it comes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day not too far behind. What day does it land this year?
The day meant to celebrate mothers, mother figures, and their contributions falls in May every year. The holiday meant to celebrate fathers follows closely behind in June, but is there a day to celebrate children?
Children’s Day falls between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, on June 14.
The U.S.’s neighbor to the south, Mexico, celebrates Mother’s and Father’s Days around the same time.
With California having a large population of Mexican immigrants, some might observe both U.S. and Mexican holidays.
Mexican Mother’s Day is on May 10 every year, and Dia del Niño is much closer, on April 30. Mexican Father’s Day is on June 21 in 2026.
When will the holidays be celebrated in the U.S.?
When is Mother’s Day 2026?
Mother’s Day lands on the second Sunday of May. This year, that day is on May 10.
When is Father’s Day 2026?
Father’s Day is the third Sunday of June, and this year it’s on June 21.
