Make Sure Your Calendars Note All of these Important National Holidays in July
When you think about July, your mind may automatically go to the biggest celebration of the month: Independence Day (AKA: the Fourth of July). But while many people across the country will be celebrating the Fourth with delicious BBQ recipes and red, white, and blue drinks and donning their new swimsuit for a day of fun in the sun, it’s hardly the only thing worth celebrating during the month.
In fact, there are so many reasons to celebrate that we’ve put together a robust list of July holidays and observances in 2024 to help you keep track. This year is especially exciting since the Summer Olympic Games in Paris begin later on in the month.
With observances like National Freezer Pop Day, World Brain Day, and Air Conditioning Appreciation Day, there’s something for just about everyone to get excited about! It’s going to be a big month full of summer activities, so you’re going to want to consider how you can enjoy all of these special days while incorporating them into things like family dinners and casual get-togethers.
Monthly observances in July include Grilling Month, Disability Pride Month, Picnic Month, Hot Dog Month (perfect for trying out a new hot dog recipe), Ice Cream Month (did someone say ice cream sandwiches?), National Culinary Arts Month, and more. July is also World Watercolor Month, which means it’s a great time to start a new hobby. So grab your paintbrush, pull out your calendar, and start planning your July.
