Easter Sunday can fall on April 1st, but it's relatively rare. The date of Easter is determined by the lunar calendar and falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. Since the vernal equinox can vary between March 19 and March 21, Easter can occur between March 22 and April 25.
The last time Easter fell on April 1st was in 1956. After that, it fell on April 1st again in 2018, and it will next occur on April 1st in 2029. These dates are part of the cycle of Easter dates that repeat approximately every 11, 22, or 30 years, depending on various factors.

Easter on April Fools' Day is actually pretty rare, but it definitely happens. I remember looking into this years ago because it felt so weird for a serious holiday to line up with a day for pranks. It last happened back in 2018, which feels like it wasn't that long ago, but it actually takes quite a while for that specific calendar alignment to roll around again.
Before that 2018 date, you have to go way back to 1956. It is one of those funny calendar quirks that keeps us on our toes. Since Easter is based on the lunar cycle and the spring equinox, it shifts all over the place, unlike Christmas that stays fixed. It’s pretty wild how the moon phases decide when we get our long weekend off.
If you are wondering when it will show up on April 1 again, it is going to be a long wait. We won't see that happen until the year 2029. I guess we will have to wait a few more years before we get that strange mix of holiday dinner and April Fools' pranks again.
