Easter brunch

No Columbus restaurant has posted a 2027 Easter brunch yet. We add restaurants only when the menu and reservation details are on the restaurant’s own site. For year-round weekend brunch, see our brunch guide.

What is open

Neither Good Friday, March 26, nor Easter Monday is on the city’s holiday list on the Public Works page, so city offices and trash pickup keep their normal schedules, and METRA’s holiday schedule lists no Easter changes. Muscogee County schools are in session the week before Easter, on the district calendar.
