Weird Holidays? Ohhhh yes we have them!
Our monthly calendar is packed full of unique, strange, bazaar, wacky and weird holidays that make perfect Theme Parties if your looking for something wild to celebrate. (can also be known as Unofficial Holidays) Strange holidays like these are taking on a new popularity in today's culture and can be celebrated world wide even though most listed on this page were first made popular in the United States. Most weird holidays honor some kind of wacky invention or a fun and bazaar thing to do. All of these make for some great party laughter. In fact, this is the main reason why all these holidays are becoming so popular.
The Holiday Paty Craze!
You can find just about every type of weird holiday that you can think of and you can also bet that a party is being celebrated somewhere in its honor too. The holiday party craze is going strong in colleges and young communities and you can bet that if someone can find a fun reason to party- then party time it is!! Any of the holidays listed on this page would make a great weird party if you let your emagination take over. You can check out some of the most publicized "weird holiday parties" page and get some great ideas!
How are Weird Holidays Set?
Any person can apply to their respective government or to the United Nations in order to have a day formalized as a particular celebration. It can't be racist, sexist or fall in any range of sinister or hateful. Any individual can apply for a reserved holiday but we find that it's mostly groups and fun organizations who go to the trouble to apply.
A truely "National" day is literally an act of Congress and takes a lot of work. There's really a lot of freedom in the making of Days reserved for Weird Holiday as you will see as you read the list below. This freedom to be able to apply for a holiday has led to some pretty strange ones.

Holidays that repeat every month
- Bonza Bottler Day - Bonza Bottler Day is a kind of fun holiday, which happens every month when a day and month coincide. Bonza Bottler Day was created by Elaine Fremont in 1985 when she realized there were no special occasions to celebrate one month. Visit the official site.
- Gone-ta-pott Day - Each month we usually experience one of those days that we wish we could just snap our fingers and make the day start over. How many times have you come home to your family and said "my day has gone-ta-pott? I think it's far time we look on the bright side of life and see the humor in a day that's gone to pott. It's time to tell the tales and let everyone laugh about it on Gone-ta-pott Day, the 28th of every month!
