White House Correspondents' Dinner Countdown
The White House Correspondents' Dinner 2027 is set for April 24, 2027, the last Saturday in April, as is tradition. Nicknamed 'nerd prom,' it gathers the press corps, politicians and celebrities in one Washington ballroom for journalism awards, scholarships and (usually) a comedian's roast.
How many days until White House Correspondents' Dinner 2027?
White House Correspondents' Dinner 2027 is on Saturday, April 24, 2027, which is 296 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Washington's biggest night out
Hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association since 1921, the dinner raises money for journalism scholarships and honors reporting on the presidency. Its guest list famously mixes anchors, A-listers and administration officials.
The roast tradition
A headline comedian traditionally roasts the sitting president, and presidents often give a comedy set of their own. Some years skip the comedian, which only makes the booking bigger news.
