Dia del Amor y la Amistad

Colombians celebrate this on the third Saturday of September in some regions, but February 14 still brings roses, serenatas, and the aggressive marketing of every restaurant in the Zona Rosa. The real Colombian love language is bringing someone a tinto when they didn't ask for one.

Doux Doux Gbe — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Doux Doux Gbe

Valentine's Day Beninese style. A walk along Grand Popo beach at sunset, fresh grilled fish at a waterfront spot, and a bottle of sodabi shared between two people. Romance in Benin does not require imported flowers. It requires time, attention, and someone who knows how to pick the right fish from the morning catch.

Día de los Animales de los Estados Unidos

You see bald eagles, grizzly bears, and gray wolves representing the vast wildlife across North American regions. You recognize that dogs and cats are the most popular pets, followed by fish, birds, and reptiles. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
