Holiday List is a daily calendar of holidays, national days and observances from around the world, built to answer one question: what is there to celebrate today?
Every day of the year has something. Some days are official public holidays, such as Canada Day or Thanksgiving. Some are international observances recognized by the United Nations, such as World Water Day. Many are cultural and religious festivals, and plenty are simply fun, like National Pizza Day. We bring them together in one place, with the story behind each and a few ideas for marking it.
