Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
Ano Viejo
Not an official holiday, but try finding someone at work. The country gathers at the coast to watch the Valparaiso fireworks, eats twelve grapes at midnight for twelve wishes, and toasts with champagne. The Valparaiso show is three kilometers of fireworks over the bay and it is spectacular. The grapes are mandatory.
World Calendar Day
New Year's Eve
The fireworks over Sydney Harbour are watched by a billion people worldwide and by a hundred thousand people standing in the Domain with warm champagne and sore feet. The countdown is shouted. The kiss at midnight is given. And someone has already set off illegal fireworks in the suburban backyard and the dog is under the bed.
World Calendar Day
Nochevieja
Another midnight celebration with the whole family. The leftover pan dulce from Christmas reappears, the sidra is still flowing, and someone counts down from ten. Paper fireworks in the street, hugs all around, and the unshakeable feeling that next year, surely, things will be better. "El ano que viene si," the eternal Argentine hope.
Regional/Cultural Day
Silvester
The old year is seen out with champagne, fireworks, and the traditional Silvester meal of fondue chinoise : a variant of fondue where thinly sliced meat is cooked in broth at the table, accompanied by sauces and salads. The fireworks in Vaduz are visible from everywhere in the country (it is, after all, only 25km long), and the celebration is small but spirited. The Prince's New Year's Eve reception at Schloss Vaduz is an invitation-only affair, but the town square is open to all, and the champagne is served by the municipality. At midnight, the church bells ring across the valley, and the new year begins : again, in the smallest German-speaking country in the world, in the shadow of the castle, in the heart of the Alps.
Regional/Cultural Day
Liechtenstein Morning Radio Day
A day for traffic, weather, jokes, songs, news, and the voices that keep people company while the day begins.
Regional/Cultural Day
Helpful Neighbor Day
A day for borrowing, lifting, watching, warning, checking in, and making the block feel less anonymous.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Day
You observe green sea turtles, frigatebirds, and Antillean crested hummingbirds as the distinctive wildlife native to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. You find that dogs, cats, and colorful tropical fish are the most popular pets among residents of these Caribbean islands. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Products of Czechia Day
You know Becherovka herbal liqueur and Skoda automobiles as symbols of Czech craftsmanship and innovation. You understand that Becherovka has warmed Czech homes since 1807, while Skoda represents the nation's engineering legacy from the industrial era to modern electric vehicles.
