The three largest South Florida districts line up on every major break. That helps families with children in more than one county, and parents who commute from Broward to jobs in Miami-Dade or Palm Beach, plan a single set of vacations. Palm Beach and Miami-Dade also give students a no-school Monday after spring break, March 29. See our full Miami-Dade school calendar and Palm Beach County school calendar, each with a free printable.

Plan around spring break

The last weekend of spring break coincides with the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, March 26-28, 2027, and Easter weekend, so expect heavy traffic and higher hotel prices. Mark the dates on our printable school-year calendar or the monthly pages for November and May.
