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-Ghazw
The anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The day is observed with remembrance ceremonies, the reading of the names of the martyrs, and the reaffirmation of Kuwaiti sovereignty. The invasion is still within living memory, and every Kuwaiti family has a story: the resistance, the evacuation, the occupation, and the liberation. The Iraqi forces looted Kuwait, burned the national library, and set fire to over 700 oil wells, creating an environmental catastrophe that darkened the sky for months. The day is solemn, and the flag is flown at half-mast. The Kuwaiti government uses the day to promote national unity and to remind the younger generation of the price of freedom.
Regional/Cultural Day
Kuwait Small Shop Sign Day
A day for the handwritten notice, the open sign, the sale tag, and the shopkeeper making the day work.
