The next Strawberry Moon is on June 29, 2026 , peaking at 7:57 p.m. EDT.

Quick Scoop

  • In the UK, it peaks in the early hours of June 30.
  • It’s called the Strawberry Moon because it marks the traditional June full moon.
  • The moon can look full for a couple of days around the peak, so you may still get a good view before or after the exact moment.

Timing

The exact time can vary a little by source and time zone, but the widely reported peak is 7:57 p.m. EDT on June 29, 2026. That means viewers in other regions will see it at a different local time, with the UK reaching peak fullness shortly after midnight.

What to expect

It will be the June full moon and may appear low in the sky around moonrise, which can make it look especially striking. If you’re watching for it, the best window is usually around moonrise on the 29th or the early hours of the 30th depending on your location.

Context

This year’s Strawberry Moon is part of the 2026 full-moon calendar, and several astronomy sources list it as the next full moon before July’s Buck Moon.
