Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Latvijas brīvības cīnītāju piemiņas diena is listed as a public holiday in Latvia. English reference name: Latvian Freedom Fighters' Remembrance Day.
A day for fresh air, street sounds, weather changes, curtains, neighbors, and the way a room becomes part of a place.
Not a national holiday, but a regional celebration in the Krāslava region of eastern Latvia, where the Latgalian culture is preserved. The Latgalians are a distinct cultural group with their own language (Latgalian), their own traditions, and their own food. The celebration includes traditional Latgalian songs, dances, and the baking of Latgalian bread. The Latgalian language is recognized as a historical variant of Latvian, and it is spoken by 150,000 people.
A day for umbrellas, towels by the door, backup shoes, covered stalls, and the local wisdom of wet weather.
A day for traffic, weather, jokes, songs, news, and the voices that keep people company while the day begins.
You witness the resplendent quetzal in cloud forests, the pink river dolphin in the Amazon, and the jaguar prowling through diverse ecosystems. You find that Colombians commonly keep dogs and cats as pets, with many also keeping birds like parakeets and canaries. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
