This day encourages people to treat insects with care and avoid unnecessary harm, recognizing that even the smallest creatures have a purpose in the natural world.

National Break Free From the Big Three Day encourages consumers to reevaluate their mobile service contracts and consider breaking away from major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Launched in 2021 by Xfinity Mobile, the day highlights how people often feel locked into expensive or inflexible plans. It promotes freedom of choice, more transparent pricing, and a reminder that switching providers—or other outdated habits—can lead to better options and improved satisfaction.

National Grand Marnier Day celebrates the French liqueur known for blending Cognac with bitter orange essence. First introduced in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, Grand Marnier became a popular ingredient in cocktails, desserts, and classic dishes like crêpes Suzette.

It also offers a playful way to beat the summer heat.

National Tape Measure Day commemorates the U.S. patent granted to Alvin J. Fellows on July 14, 1868, for improvements to the retractable tape measure. This invention revolutionized how people measured space, making tools more portable and easier to use across trades like construction, tailoring, and carpentry.

Pandemonium Day embraces the unpredictable side of life. Named after the capital of Hell in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the word “pandemonium” has come to symbolize chaos and disorder. This observance encourages people to break out of rigid routines, welcome spontaneity, and even find creativity in moments of mess and noise. It’s a day to accept that not everything needs to be under control.

Conservationists use this observance to advocate for protection and greater respect for these often misunderstood creatures.

World Chimpanzee Day marks the anniversary of Dr. Jane Goodall’s arrival in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, on July 14, 1960.
