Ceuta Day is celebrated on September 2 every year. Also known as ‘Dia de Ceuta,’ this holiday is the independence day celebration of the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta, Spain. And to celebrate, people usually spend their time quietly at home or join festivities in the streets. As a public holiday, most commercial establishments, businesses, and government officers are closed during this day. Unlike most public holidays, the celebration of Ceuta Day is usually calm, quiet, and peaceful. However, some people seize this day as an opportunity to rally at the Morocco-Spain border to express their feelings about Spain’s control over the city.
International Day for People of African Descent
International Day for People of African Descent is observed on August 31 each year. This holiday was created by the United Nations to celebrate the diverse heritage and several contributions of people of African descent. The African diaspora has long been recognized for its spirit and contributions to art, culture, science, and other fields, and it continues to mark a distinctive presence and positive impact in several parts of the world. On this day, we honor a vibrant culture and an international community while celebrating their values and contributions.
National Diatomaceous Earth Day
National Diatomaceous Earth Day is celebrated every August 31 as a day to introduce people to the useful product called diatomaceous earth. Also known as D.E., it is often used in our households, yet many are unaware of the product and its benefits. Diatomaceous earth is used to filter swimming pools, control insects in gardens, clarify sugar and syrups, e.t.c. Believe it or not, D.E. is an essential part of our lives, and it’s about time we recognize the important role it plays in everyday tasks. This month, do something different and celebrate National Diatomaceous Earth Day.
