We like to display a list of “national” events which occur during the month. This list includes monthly recognitions, weekly celebrations, wacky and crazy daily celebrations. Watch for a list of birthdays in a couple of days.
Feel free to adapt the list below to meet your needs. If you want to look at other lists, I have used Holiday Insights and National Day Calendar as well as calendars I receive from publishers.
There are a few duplicates because I found discrepancies as to celebration days – choose the one that works best for you.
