World Careful Driver Day

A day for buses, taxis, rideshare cars, delivery vans, trucks, bicycles, scooters, and everyone trusting strangers on the road.

Regional/Cultural Day

Winter Solstice

The shortest day of the year. In Alaska, this is the day when the sun barely rises. In Fairbanks, the sun is up for 3 hours and 42 minutes. In Utqiagvik (Barrow), the sun does not rise at all. The solstice is the turning point. From here, the days get longer. In every culture, the solstice is the same story: the light comes back.
