National Days in October

There are over 200 national and awareness days in October. Some are celebrated on fixed dates, while others follow a recurring schedule, like the first Monday in October. We’ll start with a list of the October national days that change each year, followed by a detailed lineup of those with specific dates.

Many of the important October national days actually follow a rule and are, thus, seldom celebrated on the same date two years in a row. Examples include National Child Health Day (1st Monday in October), Global Champagne Day (4th Friday in October), National Sweetest Day (3rd Saturday in October), and Make a Difference Day (4th Saturday in October).
