We are on a mission to Celebrate Every Day with you! And by you, we mean families, businesses, educators, and strangers we meet on the street. There’s more than one day for everyone to celebrate.

National Day Calendar® is the original and authoritative source for fun, unusual, and unique National Days! Since our humble beginnings on National Popcorn Day in 2013, we have been tracking the National Days, National Weeks, National Months, and International Days. We became the first calendar of its kind to curate the days all in one place and tell their stories, too!

National Day Calendar staff has found the National Days have a way of inspiring us. We’re honored to tell the stories behind the days. We love providing you with informational ways to incorporate the National Days into your business, family, schools, and home! So many of you have shared personal stories with us about how the National Day Calendar has helped you through life. All of your stories are dear to us and we appreciate each and every one of you!

MISSION STATEMENT

At National Day Calendar, our mission is to spread joy and enthusiasm by celebrating the diverse and unique cultural traditions of the United States and around the world.

Our goal is to inspire individuals, families, and communities to come together and enjoy the many fun and festive national days, weeks, and months that mark our calendar year. Whether it is indulging in a favorite food, hitting the beach, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the things we love about our country and culture, we believe that National Days provide an opportunity for people to connect and find happiness in the shared experiences that make us all human.

Through our platform, we strive to create a sense of community and promote the joy of celebration by highlighting and commemorating the many national days that bring us together.
