National Meatball Day celebrates the Italian-American kitchen staple that traveled from Naples to New York and became a diner-counter institution, earning its annual tribute each March. World Kidney Day was launched in 2006 by the International Society of Nephrology to drive global awareness of chronic kidney disease and early screening. Amerigo Vespucci Day honors the Florentine explorer whose letters persuaded Europeans they had found a new continent — and whose first name was given to both Americas. Bang Clang Day marks the March 9, 1862 ironclad battle between the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia. From kitchen history to naval history in one date.
