Usually Shir HaShirim is said on Shabbos Chol Hamoed Pesach. This year where there is no Shabbos Chol Hamoed the Minhag in Chutz L'Aretz is to read it on Shabbos Achron Shel Pesach. In Eretz Yisroel where there is no Shabbos Achron Shel Pesach when is it read. Is it read on the first day of Pesach or some other time?

anecdotally (I have no sources other than the ttidbits.com/995/995XL.pdf), some shuls in Israel read it on the first day which is shabbat pesach, and some don't read it at all. – Dan Apr 3 '12 at 14:50

Nit'ei Gavriel (Pesach 108:5) states, as Dan mentioned in his comment, that in Eretz Yisrael in such a case they read it on the first day of Pesach, and in chutz la'aretz they do so on the eighth day.

The same would apply IIRC to first day of sukkot on shabbat. In chu"l they read kohelet on shemini atzeret; in Israel when that is simchat torah, they read kohelet on the first day. – Double AA♦ Apr 3 '12 at 16:16
