Depends on who is involved. Technically, a couple of countries are still involved in WWII so the war is not over for them yet. Russia and Japan never signed a peace treaty which would have ended the conflict.

There is a chance that I heard they finally got around to it a few years ago though, but I am not sure if and when it happened.

Well, in Europe the western Allies celebrated "V-E Day" on May 8. The Soviet Union celebrated "Victory Day" on May 9. Some remnants of German Army Group Center continued resistance until May 11 or May 12
In Asia the Japanese surrendered on August 15, 1945, or V-J day, signing the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on September 2.
There is no one single date that everyone stopped fighting - it doesn't work like that
