Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
Youm al-Jumhuriya
The anniversary of the 1958 revolution that overthrew the monarchy. The day is observed, but the monarchy is remembered with nostalgia by some and with relief by others. The revolution was supposed to bring democracy. It brought a series of coups instead.
Regional/Cultural Day
Youm al-Thawra
The 1958 revolution ended the Hashemite monarchy and established a republic. The day is commemorated with military parades and official speeches. The revolution was led by Abd al-Karim Qasim, who was later overthrown and executed. The monarchy was British-installed. The republic was Iraqi-installed. Neither lasted.
Regional/Cultural Day
Iraq Deep Cleaning Day
A useful nudge to move the chair, check the corner, wipe the forgotten shelf, and give the home a proper reset.
Regional/Cultural Day
Receipt Drawer Day
A day for the proof of purchase nobody can find until the warranty is over.
