August 2024 Holidays
It’s the last month of the summer vacation season. We are in the dog days of summer so here is a whimsy post on some of the days we celebrate in August. While there are no major holidays this month, some say August is one big holiday. Nevertheless, there are countless August National holidays, International holidays, and special days to celebrate and enjoy. As a matter of fact, there are at least two or more holidays and special days each day this month. Do you have room on your calendar for them all? We certainly hope so. Enjoy your August 2024 calendar with the holidays to the fullest. We suggest you celebrate every holiday and special day on the calendar.
What this month lacks in big holidays is the fact that August is one big vacation holiday. Everyone is taking vacation days at the beach, at national parks, or by the fire at a campsite. While there may not be big holidays this month, there’s no shortage of lesser-known holidays to celebrate in the hammock with your favourite cold beverage.
