International Day’s 2021
As you’re preparing your annual content calendar, there is no valid excuse as to why you can’t post on social media at the very least once a week. As I was putting together this list of holidays and special occasions to celebrate, I was overwhelmed by how many “holidays” there are on the calendar.
Below is a list I’ve compiled of National and International Day’s for 2021. Some religious holidays or region specific holiday’s are included. Did I miss any important days? Leave me a comment.
