About the Pink Moon
April's full moon, named for moss pink (wild ground phlox), one of the first widespread wildflowers to bloom in spring — not for the Moon's actual color.
The next Pink Moon falls on Tuesday, April 20, 2027. For exact moonrise and moonset times at your location, use the moon calculator, or browse the full year of moon phases.
A note for the Southern Hemisphere: these names come from Northern-Hemisphere farming and seasonal almanacs, so the season they evoke is flipped south of the equator. The Pink Moon still falls on the same date worldwide — but the seasonal imagery behind the name (weather, crops, wildlife) reflects the Northern Hemisphere, not the local season.
