Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
World Family Story Day
A day for the stories people inherit, correct, retell, laugh about, argue over, and pass along.
Regional/Cultural Day
Dia di Nha Santa
The feast of Nossa Senhora das Dores, celebrated especially on Brava and Fogo. Processions through flower-decorated streets, women singing hymns in Kriolu, and the church bells ringing across valleys that carry sound like amplifiers. On Brava, this is the biggest religious celebration of the year and the diaspora comes home for it.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Samoa Day
You encounter Samoan flying foxes, Pacific pigeons, and endemic Samoan parrots as the most iconic wildlife native to Samoa. You see that dogs, cats, chickens, and pigs are commonly kept as pets by Samoan families and farmers. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
