July 2022 Holidays and Observances - July Calendar of Awareness Days
Come July, there’s one particular holiday that tends to, and should, get top billing: the 4th of July. But even though Independence Day may be the star of the summer, you can keep the festive fun going all month long by celebrating these July holidays, awareness days and observances.
July brings warmer weather, longer days and increased family time, which means one thing: lots of hamburgers, popsicles and other summer favorites. That said, there are so many food holidays in July, many of which highlight the season's best eats. We’re talking watermelon, ice cream, hot dogs, baked beans, blueberries, cherries and a whole lot more.
Good news for all the parents out there: July is also packed with activity-centric holidays, so you can liven up your kid's summer by observing American Zoo Day, Pick Blueberries Day or World Miniature Golf Day (or all of the above!). It's no wonder that July also happens to be National Anti-Boredom Month!
Although some of these holidays and observances are officially recognized nationwide or internationally, a lot of them have been made up by brands and enthusiasts just for the fun of it (ahem, Amazon Prime Day).
Work your way down this list to find something to celebrate each and every day — National Fried Chicken Day one day, World Snakes Day the next. Add them to your calendar, so you don't miss out on an excuse to throw a party ... or, ya know, eat an entire bowl of guac in honor of National Avocado Day.
