Farmer Day, or Dia del Campesino, is celebrated in Peru on June 24 every year as a tribute to the hardworking local farmers that provide food to the table of every Peruvian. Observers celebrate this day by holding agriculture fairs, cultural displays, and of course, the sharing of food. In the Amazonian region, Farmer Day is also celebrated in tandem with the Feast of San Juan Bautista — or St. John the Baptist Day — as a nod to the Catholic tradition that was instilled by Spanish missionaries.
International Women in Engineering Day
International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated on June 23 every year around the world, to honor women in the field of engineering. It focuses on raising the profile of women who are changing the field of engineering one degree at a time. It has been recognized by UNESCO and is a befitting tribute for the anniversary of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES), which was established on June 23, 1919.
New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day
New Year’s Resolution Recommitment Day is celebrated on June 1 each year. You’ll notice that this is the sixth month, placing this holiday halfway through the year. It’s a time to take a step back and study your resolutions, the progress you’ve made so far, and the actions you’ll take to keep moving forward. Because most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions shortly after making them, this holiday is an excellent way to keep track of your efforts. It’s also a refresher for those whose resolutions have fallen by the wayside.
