World Calendar Day

A day for uniforms, aprons, gloves, boots, badges, and the clothes that show people are ready to serve, build, clean, cook, or repair.
Regional/Cultural Day
Gelede Xwe
The full Gelede festival in Ketou brings Yoruba communities together for an all-night performance of mask dancing, drumming, and storytelling. The masks are satirical, reverent, funny, and fearsome, sometimes all at once. Women are honored, ancestors are remembered, and the whole community watches until dawn because nobody leaves a Gelede festival early.
