Wednesday, September 8, 2027
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 de la Natilla y el Bunuelo
When December approaches, every Colombian kitchen starts producing natilla (a coconut-and-panela custard) and buñuelos (fried cheese balls that should not be as addictive as they are). The first batch is always a test run. The second batch is always perfect. The third batch is given to neighbors as proof that you are a decent human being.
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.
