National Days & Awareness Days in November 2024

November has more than 200+ national and international days as well as multiple awareness days. Some are celebrated on fixed dates, while others follow a certain rule, such as taking place on the first Wednesday of the month.

Here’s a short summary of the most notable national days, sometimes called fun holidays or even social media holidays, taking place in early November (November 1 – November 8). Coming one day after Halloween, November starts out with All Saints’ Day on November 1. On the same day, World Vegan Day is observed. On November 4 you have the best excuse ever for enjoying your favorite candies: that’s right, it’s National Candy Day! If you are in the UK you shouldn’t forget about Guy Fawkes Night, a.k.a. Bonfire Night on November 5. Also worth observing on November 5 is National Redhead Day. Finally, on November 8 it’s National Cappuccino Day, meaning that you can share your love for Italian coffee with the world 🙂

Between November 9 and November 15 there are a number of holidays to observe – some simply fun (National Vanilla Cupcake Day) and others more serious (World Diabetes Day). Finally, on Singles’ Day, the biggest shopping day worldwide, you can make some great bargains – or maybe announce a Singles’ Day sale if you have an online business.

My advice to businesses: don’t forget about World Kindness Day on November 13. Share a story of kindess and/or let your audience share their stories.
