Monthly Holiday Calendar:
January   /   February   /   March   /   April   /   May   /   June   /   July
August   /   September   /   October   /   November   /   December
Weird Holidays?  Ohhhh yes we have them!
Most people don't even realize that our Monthly Calendar is packed full of unique, strange, bazaar, wacky and weird Holidays. The United States loves to find any excuse to enjoy celebrating and these weird holidays give us great ideas for theme parties. 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.

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.

Weird Holiday Parties
Americans love to find any excuse to have a party and and these strange, bazaar and weird Holidays are just perfect ideas for weird theme parties. So, let's get the party started!  Are you ready to have a Weird Holiday Party?  Well to help you get your creative mind to thinking which weird party you would like to have, we have a few examples of how others like to celebrate.

   * National Tweed Day / Celebrated on April 3rd:  celebrates the warm and fashionable tweed material. This woolen clothing is popular in Scotland. In fact it originated in Scotland. Tweed is more popular in the north and not often worn in the south because of the warmer weather. Having said that, we do find that tweed jackets & hats are popular in the winter for hunters.  Either way our culture welcomes tweed parties. Scottish people have tweed parties, many sewing and stitching clubs, even quilting clubs in the US will plan a tweed party on this holiday as well. School Class Rooms even have a tweed party day as part of history class. We find that tweed clothing parties are planned on this day too. Do you sale tweed clothing? Well here's an opportunity to sale your tweed and have some tweed fun too. Get crazy with it!

Tell all your guest to wear tweed hats and scarf's.
Serve all your food for the party on tweed material lined plates and baskets.
