National & International Important Dates April – June 2024

Here’s a list of important dates, both national and international, for the months of April to June 2024. Some of these are definitely tongue in cheek – or they should be. 😁 Our favourite has got to be April 04, International National Carrot Day 🥕🥕🥕 (with Blah Blah Blah Day coming in a close second!).

We’re always surprised at how many days of the year are allocated as special days, for one reason or another. It seems there’s a day for everything and everyone! This is a comprehensive list of some of the more important dates, but this is by no means 100% complete. Do let us know if there are any important dates you’d like us to add to our list (or if you spot any errors).
