Dia de la Mujer

National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.

Trappisten Dag

Belgium is home to six of the world's eleven Trappist breweries, where monks still brew beer inside monastery walls. Chimay, Westmalle, Rochefort, Orval, Achel, and Westvleteren: each with its own glass, its own flavor, and its own devoted following. Westvleteren 12 sells for pennies at the abbey gate and for fortunes on the internet, which tells you everything about Belgian beer culture.

Animals of Lesotho Day

You see elands, baboons, and bearded vultures across Lesotho's high mountain plateaus and grasslands. You typically keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as household pets in Lesotho. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
