You should put a comma between "27th" and "and the 30th."

The definitive answer - from 3 separate sources:

"The final two items in the list are usually separated by "and" or "or", which should be preceded by a comma."

"Use commas between items in a sentence list. Avoid using a comma before the last item in the list."

"When you are listing three or more items, commas should separate each element of the list. However, the final comma—the one that comes before the and—is optional."

The Oxford Comma. It's practically a requirement in some scenarios where the phrasing gets weird.

They are his daughters, sister and wife.

They are his daughters, sister, and wife.

The Oxford Comma - The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation

An Oxford comma is the final comma that can be used or omitted in a series. Writers and editors tend to have strong opinions about the Oxford comma.
