Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
The State Fair
Everything at the state fair is either fried, on a stick, or both, and that is not a complaint by anyone here. You spend thirty minutes trying to win something worth four dollars and consider it money genuinely well spent. The ferris wheel at night is the tallest thing in the county and the view never gets old.
Regional/Cultural Day
Bastille Day
In New Orleans, which was once French territory, Bastille Day is celebrated with a block party in the French Quarter, accordion music, and a waiters' race where servers carry trays of wine through the streets without spilling. In New York, the French Institute Alliance Francaise hosts a street fair on 60th Street. In America, Bastille Day is an excuse for French expatriates and Francophiles to drink wine in the street, which is also what the French do.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Belgium Day
You find red foxes, European badgers, and roe deer as the distinctive wildlife native to Belgium. You keep Belgian Shepherd dogs, cats, and rabbits as the most common pets in Belgian homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Brands of Türkiye Day
You honor Vespa scooters, which became iconic across Turkey through widespread adoption in the 1960s and 70s, and Turkish coffee culture represented by brands like Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, one of the world's oldest continuously operating coffee roasters since 1871. You understand how Vespa embodies Turkish urban mobility and style, while Mehmet Efendi coffee defines the ritualistic, social experience of Turkish daily life.
