Every year we celebrate some significant days that have some historical and cultural importance like honouring a relationship, a personality, an institution and of course the independence of any nation. These celebrations show how important the subject is for a nation or a certain part of the world. As these special days are ever expanding, almost every day is being scheduled for something, whether weird, funny, wonderful or bizarre, all under one roof at www.daysoftheyear.com — a site that tells you what the world is celebrating each day!

Days of the year is an amazing site to explore. As you open, the white and indigo colour scheme will catch your attention with its clean interface. You will see “today is... (the day celebrated for)” written on top centre, scrolling down will show you all the days of the month and the related information, facts and history below them. You can custom search any particular date from the calendar icon at the top right or a particular date from the search bar.

Apart from that, months are also honoured and celebrated for different causes and reasons, and you can also read about that on this site. For instance, March is recognised as Social Work Month, Umbrella Month, kidney, nutrition, etc. As mentioned earlier, the site gathers all the funny and weird dates celebrated around the world, you will be surprised to know that some parts of the world actually celebrate days like Organise Your Home Day, Garlic Day, Booklovers Day, Lazy Day and even Bad Poetry Day!
