Lambiek en Geuzedag — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Lambiek en Geuzedag

Lambic beer is fermented with wild yeast in the open air of the Senne valley, then blended into gueuze or flavored with fruit for kriek. Cantillon in Brussels still brews it the old way and the smell of the mash hits you before you walk through the door. Gueuze tastes like nothing else on earth: sour, dry, and fizzy, and once you understand it, every other beer feels simple.

Animals of Sierra Leone Day — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Animals of Sierra Leone Day

You observe West African manatees, pygmy hippopotamuses, and African forest elephants as the most distinctive wildlife native to Sierra Leone. You see that dogs, cats, chickens, and goats are commonly kept as pets throughout Sierra Leonean communities. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
