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 Pocket Notebook Day
A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
Regional/Cultural Day
Aso o Tina
The day honoring mothers, and the tradition is to give your mother a gift, a card, and a thank you. AHA!: In Samoa, mothers are the backbone of the economy. They manage the household budget, run the family's small businesses, and make the decisions about how remittance money from overseas is spent. The Samoan economy is not run from Apia : it's run from the kitchen table by mothers who receive money from children in Auckland, Sydney, and Los Angeles. The tradition is to wear a flower (the tiare, the national flower) in your hair.
Regional/Cultural Day
Samoa Small Shop Sign Day
A day for the handwritten notice, the open sign, the sale tag, and the shopkeeper making the day work.
Regional/Cultural Day
Good Barber Chair Day
A day for trust, conversation, mirrors, clippers, scissors, and leaving a little sharper than you arrived.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Cocos (Keeling) Islands Day
You spot the endemic Cocos buff-banded rail, coconut crabs, and various tropical seabirds inhabiting these remote Indian Ocean islands. You notice that residents keep dogs, cats, and tropical fish as pets in this isolated community. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Products of Sint Maarten Day
You find that Sint Maarten's identity centers on its rum production, particularly Opa Locka and locally-distilled spirits that reflect Caribbean heritage. You recognize that these rums carry the island's colonial history and its position as a multicultural crossroads in the Eastern Caribbean.
