About First Day of Fall (Autumn Equinox) 2027
The Autumnal Equinox marks the official astronomical beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, the sun crosses the celestial equator going south, producing nearly equal amounts of day and night across the globe.
As the Earth continues its orbit, temperatures cool, foliage transforms into rich gold, red, and amber hues, and harvest festivals begin. Fall traditions include apple picking, pumpkin patches, harvest fairs, and cozy seasonal recipes.
In 2027, the first day of fall arrives on Thursday, September 23. Track the countdown to plan your autumn foliage road trips, outdoor hikes, and seasonal wardrobe transitions.
