Which week of the year does Mardi Gras fall in?
Mardi Gras 2027 sits in ISO week 6, while today sits in week 39. Because Mardi Gras is defined by its position in the month rather than by a fixed date, its weekday never changes but its ISO week number can move by a week either way. The Monday-to-Sunday dates are listed on the week 6 page.

20 weekends, counting Saturdays that have not yet passed, out of the 138 days ahead. Of those days, 98 are working days and 40 fall at a weekend. Weekly commitments are easier to plan against the weekday tally than against the raw week count: 20 Mondays and 20 Fridays remain.
