Spring break in Melbourne 2027: school dates, camps, things to do

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Sources: the Brevard Public Schools 2026-27 calendar (board approved Feb. 24, 2026), Brevard Zoo camps, the City of Melbourne’s pools page and Melbourne Main Street’s downtown calendar.

Brevard Public Schools’ spring break is Monday, March 22, to Friday, March 26, 2027. The district’s calendar also makes Friday, March 19, a student holiday and teacher workday, so most students get 10 days off, March 19 through Sunday, March 28. The third nine weeks ends Tuesday, March 16, just before the break. Easter 2027 is the Sunday right after, March 28; see our Easter page.
