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 Useful Bag Day
A day for baskets, backpacks, totes, sacks, satchels, lunch bags, and everything people carry through the work of a day.
Regional/Cultural Day
Youm al-Hijra
Libya has been a crossroads of migration for millennia: the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Vandals, the Arabs, the Ottomans, and the Italians all came to Libya and left their mark. The day commemorates the migrations that have shaped Libya, from the ancient trade routes across the Sahara to the modern migration routes from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe. The day also acknowledges the suffering of migrants in Libya today, and the calls for reform, dignity, and human rights. The Tuareg and the Tubu, who have crossed the Sahara for millennia, are the hosts of this remembrance.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Central African Republic Day
You encounter forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and forest buffalo in the dense rainforests and savannas of this central African nation. You see that people primarily keep dogs, cats, and goats as domestic animals, with chickens also being common. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
