National days, whether focused on raising awareness or celebrating something we love, are excellent conversation starters and make for engaging content. March alone boasts well over 100 national days to celebrate. Which ones will you mark on your calendar? Don’t miss out on World Compliment Day, National Meatball Day, or National Napping Day this year. Some of our other personal favorites include the International Day of Happiness, National Puppy Day, and National Get Over It Day. And, of course, don’t forget about St. Patrick’s Day, perfect for anyone who feels even a bit Irish—at least in spirit!
For restaurants, bakeries and other food-related brands there are several food holidays to observe, such as National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, National Oreo Cookie Day and National Ravioli Day. If you’ve always been intrigued by mathematics, how about celebrating Pi Day? Those with green thumbs might want to plant a flower on National Plant a Flower Day.
