Welcome in Autumn With This List of September Holidays
Summer may be over, but there's so much in store for September! Most notable is the first day of fall, bringing with it stunning foliage and, of course, pumpkin-spiced everything. Speaking of eating seasonal snacks, that's just one of many fall activities at hand, like watching fall movies and carving pumpkins. But aside from your typical fall fare and fun, the month of September also boasts a variety of holidays!
While there are well-known observances like Labor Day and Patriot Day, there are many lesser-known celebrations to discover. Love chocolate milkshakes? There’s a holiday for that! Can't get enough waffles at breakfast? September has a whole week dedicated to them. And if you're a proponent of the power of a black dress, don’t miss National Little Black Dress Day. The list goes on, but you get the idea. So, grab your calendar and get ready to mark down these fun September holidays and observances for 2024!
