Mark Your September 2024 Calendar With These National Days
September is back-to-school season, but it's a lot more than that. It's also Hispanic Heritage Month, National Recovery Month, and National Suicide Prevention Month. Within the month of September, there are plenty of well-known holidays like Labor Day and Patriot Day, which honor the memory of people who were killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks. There are also several cultural events you'll want to mark on your calendar in September, such as the Emmy Awards and New York Fashion Week.
There are also plenty of lesser-known holidays and awareness days in September. For instance, did you know there's a National Cheese Pizza Day and a National Pepperoni Pizza Day in September? That sounds like a good reason to have a pizza party! There are also days dedicated to celebrating some of our furry friends—ginger cats, bunnies, and pets who are no longer with us—and even a few holidays that remind us to think positively and give back to our communities.
Between the holidays and all the fall activities on your calendar, September might be a busy month! If you're single, be sure to take some time to unwind by yourself. If you're a mom, September 6 (that's National Lazy Mom's Day, which is all about self-care!) is all about you!
