Last updated 2026-11-01 · by Venu Gopal Reddy Muvva, founder

Festival posts work when you plan them a week ahead, not on the day. SocialPostScheduler has a Festival calendar with 40 Indian festivals for 2026–27, filtered by region, with post angles for each and one click to plan posts with AI. Lunar dates are marked "date to verify" so you can check them against the official holiday list before you schedule.

Plan festivals in three posts

A simple pattern works for most festivals. One post 5–7 days before with your offer or hours. One post the day before as a reminder. One warm wish on the day, with no hard sell.

Big festivals such as Diwali deserve a longer run. Start two weeks out with gift ideas or order cut-off dates.

Respect regions and dates

India's festivals differ by state. Pongal, Onam, Bihu and Durga Puja matter most in their regions. Posting a regional festival to a national audience is fine, but say who you are wishing.

Many festivals follow the lunar calendar and their dates can shift by a day. That is why some show date to verify. Check before you schedule the day-of post.

Build festivals into your month plan

When you use AI planner, set Region for festivals. Festivals in that month are added as post ideas. Delete any festival draft you do not want from the calendar.

When SocialPostScheduler is not the right tool
