SUMMARY:Child Health Day
DESCRIPTION:Child Health Day in the United States raises people’s awareness of how they can protect and develop children’s health. This event is annually celebrated on the first Monday of October. \nIs Child Health Day a Public Holiday?\nAlthough Child Health Day is not a public holiday\, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as Frances Xavier Cabrini Day in 2024\, which is a public holiday in Colorado. \nWhat Do People Do?\nAs part of the annual presidential proclamation for the day\, all agencies and organizations interested in child welfare are invited to unite on Child Health Day to observe exercises to stimulate or increase people’s awareness of the need for a year-round program to protect and develop children’s health in the United States. \nHealth professionals and health organizations across the United States take part in this day through various activities and events. For example\, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) takes on an active role in providing educational resources for parents\, children and schools about issues such as healthy choices\, fitness\, and child obesity prevention. The HRSA also calls for every surgeon general across the nation to make a pledge towards providing a healthy future for children. \nThe Maternal and Child Health Library also actively participates in Child Health Day through activities that focus on healthy eating and physical activity for children and their parents or parental figures. The library provides information on nutrition for children and adolescents\, the importance of physical activity\, and nutrition for pregnant women. \nPublic Life\nAlthough Child Health Day is a national observance in the United States\, it is not a public holiday. \nBackground\nCalvin Coolidge was the first president to issue a proclamation for Child Health Day in 1928 and it was annually observed on May 1 until it was observed on the first Monday of October from 1960 onwards. The concept of this event was supported by organizations such as the American Child Health Association\, the American Federation of Labor and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in the early 20th century. \nAccording to the HRSA\, about one in six children between 2 and 19 in the United States is overweight. This is a risk factor for serious health consequences including asthma\, diabetes and heart disease. Child Health Day helps spark or increase people’s awareness of ways to minimize or alleviate health problems that children may face. The day focuses on a range of child health issues such as prenatal care\, adolescent health\, the impact of daycare on a child’s development\, preventing injuries\, healthy eating and lifestyle choices\, and immunization. \nSymbols\nImages of health and active children are used in promotional materials such as posters\, stickers and information kits for Child Health Day. \nDisclaimer: There may be other websites informing that Child Health Day in the United States was called to be designated for the first Monday of October since the late 1928. However\, newspaper archives and other historical information show that the date was in fact observed on May 1 until 1960. Regardless\, readers use this site at their own risk and the site takes no responsibility for possible errors in this article.

SUMMARY:German American Day
DESCRIPTION:Why are we celebrating German American Day? What’s this all about?\n\nDid you know that German Americans are the largest ethnic group in the United States? \nAlmost 44 million people self-report to have ancestors who immigrated from a German-speaking country. That’s almost one-third of the total global population with German ancestry. \nVery few of the German states had colonies in the new world. In the 1670s\, the first significant groups of German immigrants arrived in the British colonies\, settling primarily in Pennsylvania\, New York and Virginia. \nThe first German came to Virginia in May of 1607; his name was Dr. Johannes Fleischer the Younger\, a botanist and physician. Although he died in August of 1608 having contracted one of the many diseases that decimated the fledgling colony\, he had managed to recruit fellow Germans to make the treacherous journey across the Atlantic to Virginia. \nThe next group of Germans arrived aboard the vessel Mary and Margaret about 1 October 1608. These Germans were glassmakers and carpenters. In 1620\, German mineral specialists and saw-millwrights followed\, to work and settle in the Virginia colony. \nHowever\, Germans lived in the New World even earlier than that: America’s oldest city\, Saint Augustine in Florida\, then a Spanish colony\, was home to a small group of German-speaking residents as early as the 1570s. \n\n\n \nOn Oct. 6\, we celebrate our German-American heritage by commemorating the date in 1683\, when 13 families from the German town of Krefeld landed in Philadelphia. These families subsequently founded Germantown\, Pennsylvania\, the first German settlement in the original 13 colonies. \nLibrary of Congress\nThey were led by Franz Daniel Pastorius\, a native of Sommerhausen in the German Duchy of Franconia\, and a lawyer by training. Earlier in 1683\, a group of Mennonites\, Pietists\, and Quakers in Frankfurt\, including Abraham op den Graeff\, a cousin of William Penn\, had approached Pastorius about acting as their agent to purchase land in Pennsylvania for a settlement. In Philadelphia\, Pastorius then negotiated the purchase of 15\,000 acres (61 km²) from William Penn\, the proprietor of the colony\, and laid out the settlement of Germantown\, where he himself would live until his death in 1720. \nAs one of Germantown’s leading citizens\, Pastorius served in many public offices. He was the first mayor and also was a member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1687 and 1691. \nGermantown was absorbed into Philadelphia in 1854. Germantown has played a significant role in American history; it was the birthplace of the American antislavery movement\, the site of a Revolutionary War battle\, the temporary residence of George Washington\, the location of the first bank of the United States\, and the residence of many notable politicians\, scholars\, artists\, and social activists. \nMany German-Americans commemorated their heritage with  local versions of German-American Day in the 19th century. It is believed that the first “German Day” was celebrated in Philadelphia in 1883\, on the 200th anniversary of the settlement of Germantown to acknowledge the importance of German influence in the area. Later\, other surrounding communities held their own “German Day” celebrations. Sadly\, World War 1 brought an end to “German Day”\, and much of the pride people had in their culture was tucked away for nearly 60 years. The holiday was revived in 1983\, when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October 6th as German-American Day to celebrate and honor the 300th anniversary of German American immigration and culture to the United States. \nMr. Helmut Krüger\, a native of Germany and our 2019 Distinguished German-American of the Year\, who was then the president of GAHF\, played a vital role in establishing German-American Day\, and also worked with President Reagan to pass a bill for the development of a German-American Friendship Garden. \nOn Aug. 6\, 1987\, Congress approved Resolution 108\, designating Oct. 6\, 1987\, as German-American Day\, and it became public law on Aug. 18.  A proclamation was  issued on October 2\, 1987\, by President Reagan in a formal ceremony in the White House Rose Garden\, at which time the President called on Americans to observe the Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

SUMMARY:Leif Erikson Day
DESCRIPTION:Leif Erikson Day honors a viking explorer known as Leif Erikson. He is believed to be the first recorded Nordic person to have visited North America. It is believed that he visited places such as Baffin Island and Labrador around 1000 CE. \nIs Leif Erikson Day a Public Holiday?\nLeif Erikson Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nThe president of the United States issues a proclamation about the holiday. Many US presidents have\, in the past\, publicly praised the spirit of exploration and discovery\, as well the contributions of people with a Nordic background and their culture. \nPublic Life\nLeif Erikson Day is an observance and not a federal public holiday in the United States. Public transit systems run on their regular schedules. \nBackground\nLeif Erikson was born of Norwegian descent around 970 CE in Iceland. It is thought that his father and grandfather were outlaws and explorers around Scandinavia and Greenland. His father founded two settlements in Greenland. Leif had two brothers and one sister. He married a woman named Thorgunna and they had one son\, called Thorkell Leifsson. \nLeif Erikson went to Norway to work for King Olaf I of Norway. During his stay\, he converted to Christianity. When he returned to Island\, he bought a boat and\, in 1003\, set out to explore the land west of Greenland that had been discovered by Bjarni Herjolfsson\, and older explorer. The land that he had discovered was actually Newfoundland\, which is now part of Canada. The ‘Saga of the Greenlanders’ tells of his adventures. \nIt is thought that he visited Baffin Island and Labrador and settled on the Northern part of the island of Newfoundland\, now all part of Canada. There are speculations that Leif Erikson or later explorers may have traveled into the area that is now Minnesota in the United States. Some controversial archaeological finds\, such as the Kensington Runestone and the Maine Penny\, support this theory\, but it is not considered proven. \nOctober 9 was chosen because it is the anniversary of the day that the ship Restauration arrived in New York from Stavanger\, Norway on October 9\, 1825. This was the start of organized immigration from Scandinavia to the USA. The date is not associated with an event in Leif Erikson’s life.

SUMMARY:Indigenous People's Day
DESCRIPTION:Is Indigenous People’s Day a Public Holiday?\nIndigenous People’s Day 2024 is a state observance in 30 states and a state holiday in 3 states and 1 federal district. \nWhere Is Indigenous Peoples’ Day Celebrated?\nAs of 2023\, some 29 states do not celebrate Columbus Day and have renamed it or replaced it with Indigenous Peoples Day. Some states recognize Indigenous Peoples Day via proclamation\, while others treat it as an official holiday. \nAmong the states where the holiday is observed or honored are Alaska\, Minnesota\, Vermont\, Iowa\, North Carolina\, California\, Louisiana\, Maine\, Michigan\, New Mexico\, Wisconsin\, Virginia\, Oregon\, Texas\, as well as South Dakota\, which celebrates Native Americans’ Day\, Hawaii\, which celebrates Discoverers’ Day\, and Alabama\, which celebrates American Indian Heritage Day. Washington\, D.C. also recognizes the holiday. \nPresident Biden became the first U.S. president to issue a proclamation recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2021\, writing\, “Today\, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society.” \nWhy Replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day?\nActivists have long argued that holidays\, statues and other memorials to Columbus sanitize his actions—which include the enslavement of Native Americans—while giving him credit for “discovering” a place where communities had lived for thousands of years. \n“Columbus Day is not just a holiday\, it represents the violent history of colonization in the Western hemisphere\,” says Leo Killsback\, a professor of American Indian Studies at Arizona State University. \nColumbus Day became a federal holiday in 1937\, in part because of efforts by Roman Catholic Italian Americans. During the late 19th and early 20th century\, members of the stigmatized ethnic and religious group successfully campaigned to establish a Columbus Day in order to place Catholic Italians\, like Christopher Columbus\, into American history. In doing so\, they edged out people of Anglo-Saxon descent who wanted a federal holiday honoring Leif Erikson as the first European to reach the Americas. \nBut decades later\, the question of which European got here “first” is beside the point. “Indigenous Peoples’ Day represents a much more honest and fair representation of American values\,” writes Killsback\, who is a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation of southeastern Montana. \n\n

SUMMARY:Navy Birthday
DESCRIPTION:The Navy Birthday is on October 13 and celebrates the establishment of the US Navy in 1775. \nIs Navy Birthday a Public Holiday?\nNavy Birthday is not a public holiday. It falls on Sunday\, October 13\, 2024 and most businesses follow regular Sunday opening hours in United States. \nOn October 13\, 1775\, the United States Navy was established. The day is celebrated as the birthdate of the American Navy. \nNaval Celebration\nThe day is mainly celebrated by personnel\, veterans\, or other people related to the navy. Usually\, it is marked with a Navy Birthday Ball with a formal dinner\, birthday cake\, and entertainment. \nPirate Problem\nThe United States Navy originated over 240 years ago as the Continental Navy. The then Continental Congress authorized 2 armed vessels to search for ships supplying the British army with weapons and ammunition during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). \nWhen the war ended\, the Continental Navy was dismantled\, but pirate threats to American merchant shipping led President George Washington to establish the Naval Act of 1794\, creating a permanent standing US Navy. \nUS Navy Today\nThe United States Navy is the naval warfare branch of the US Armed Forces. It has more than 300\,000 personnel on active duty and around 100\,000 personnel in the Navy Reserve.

SUMMARY:White Cane Safety Day
DESCRIPTION:White Cane Safety Day celebrates blind and visually impaired people’s achievements in the United States on October 15 every year. It also reminds people about the how the white cane is an important tool in helping the blind and the visually impaired live with greater independence. \nIs White Cane Safety Day a Public Holiday?\nWhite Cane Safety Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nThe United States president may issue each year a proclamation calling on people in the United States to observe White Cane Safety Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Communities across the nation re-affirm their commitment to improve access to basic services for blind and visually impaired people. \nOrganizations\, such as Lions Clubs International and the National Federation of the Blind\, organize promotional activities involving the public as part of a goal to help to increase awareness of the use of the white cane and the laws that govern its use. Activities such as visual displays\, walks\, meetings\, public service announcements\, and the distribution of t-shirts reminding people about the day are all part of the day’s activities. White Cane Safety Day also reminds people that motor vehicles and pedestrians should yield the right of way to blind or visually impaired people using canes. \nPublic Life\nAlthough White Cane Safety Day is a national observance in the United States\, it is not a federal public holiday. \nBackground\nMany blind and visually impaired people\, including famous musicians and writers\, have made major positive contributions in the United States. Many have also used a white cane to help them succeed at educational institutions\, work environments\, and their homes. The first of the state laws regarding the right of blind people to travel independently with the white cane was passed in 1930. It granted blind pedestrians protection and the right-of-way while carrying a white cane. \nIn 1963\, the National Federation of the Blind called upon the governors from every state to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day. At the time\, only a few people achieved enough independence to travel alone on busy highways. The United States Congress\, by joint resolution approved on October 6\, 1964\, designated October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day. By 1978\, the number of visually impaired people who achieved a lot of independence through the white cane had greatly increased. Promotions on the benefits of the white cane proved to be successful and they are still continuing. \nSymbols\nThe white cane can be perceived by many as a symbol of blindness or visual impairment. White canes are recognized for providing the visually impaired with greater mobility\, allowing them to participate more within their communities. Blind and visually impaired people have used canes as mobility tools for centuries\, but it was not until after World War I that the white cane was properly introduced. In modern times\, there are different varieties of this tool\, each serving slightly varied needs.

SUMMARY:Boss's Day
DESCRIPTION:Boss’s Day\, also known as National Boss Day or Bosses Day\, is a time for many workers to appreciate their employers. It is annually observed in the United States on October 16\, or the nearest working day. \nIs Boss’s Day a Public Holiday?\nBoss’s Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nBoss’s Day is dedicated to all employers and provides a prospect of improving the liaison between employers and their staff. Many workers dedicate this day to their supervisors for various reasons\, such as supporting staff with their jobs and careers. This observance also gives employees a chance to recognize those in supervisory positions. \nSome people give their bosses cards\, gift certificates\, or flowers on Boss’s Day. This observance is becoming increasingly popular in various workplaces. It has received both praise and controversy. \nPublic Life\nBoss’s Day\, which is on October 16\, is an observance and it is not a nationwide public holiday in the United States. If it falls on a weekend\, then it is celebrated on the working day closest to it. \nBackground\nThe concept of National Boss Day began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski\, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield\, Illinois\, registered the holiday with the United States Chamber of Commerce. She designated October 16 as the special day because it was her father’s birthday. Haroski’s purpose was to designate a day to show appreciation for her boss and other bosses. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. \nFour years later in 1962\, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski’s registration and officially proclaimed the day. The event’s popularity is growing outside the United States and is now also observed in countries such as Australia\, India\, and South Africa. \nNote: The dates below show when National Boss Day was first officially proclaimed in 1962\, although the concept for this observance began in 1958.

SUMMARY:Halloween
DESCRIPTION:Many Americans celebrate Halloween on October 31. Celebrations include costume parties and trick-or-treating. \nIs Halloween a Public Holiday?\nHalloween is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nHalloween is usually celebrated amongst family\, friends and\, sometimes\, co-workers. However\, some areas hold large community events. Parties and other events may be planned on October 31 or in the weekends before and after this date. Adults may celebrate by watching horror films\, holding costume parties or creating haunted houses or graveyards. \nMany children dress up in fancy costumes and visit other homes in the neighborhood. At each house\, they demand sweets\, snacks or a small gift. If they do not get this\, they threaten to do some harm to the inhabitants of the house. This is known as playing ‘trick-or-treat’ and is supposed to happen in a friendly spirit\, with no nasty or mean tricks being carried out. However\, if your children take part\, it is important to accompany them and to check their ‘treats’ to make sure they are safe to eat or play with. \nSome families carve lanterns with ‘scary’ faces out of pumpkins or other vegetables or decorate their homes and gardens in Halloween style. These were traditionally intended to ward off evil spirits. If you are at home on Halloween\, it is a good idea to have a bowl of small presents or sweets to offer to anyone who knocks on your door. This will help you to please the little spirits in your neighborhood! \nOne cause that ties with Halloween is collecting donations for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). As children trick-or-treat on Halloween night\, some of them might carry small cardboard boxes with the UNICEF logo on them and collect coins instead of the usual candy. The money collected is then given to UNICEF and used to help needy children worldwide. \nPublic Life\nHalloween is not an official holiday. Government offices and businesses are open as usual and public transit services run on regular schedules. If you drive around in late afternoon or evening\, it is important to keep a careful lookout for children who are unaccustomed to being out on the street after dark. If they are wearing dark costumes or masks\, they may be less easy to see than normal. They may also be excited and dart out unexpectedly from between vehicles or behind bushes. \nBackground\nHalloween originated as a pagan festival in parts of Northern Europe\, particularly around what is now the United Kingdom. Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is a time when magic is most potent and spirits can make contact with the physical world. In Christian times\, it became a celebration of the evening before All Saints’ Day. Immigrants from Scotland and Ireland brought the holiday to the United States. \nThe commercialization of Halloween started in the 1900s\, when postcards and die-cut paper decorations were produced. Halloween costumes started to appear in stores in the 1930s and the custom of ‘trick-or-treat’ appeared in the 1950s. The types of products available in Halloween style increased with time. Now Halloween is a very profitable holiday for the manufacturers of costumes\, yard decorations and candy. In recent years\, debate over the apporpriateness of costumes representing ethnic groups has arisen. \nSymbols\nThere are various symbols associated with Halloween. These include the spooks\, ghosts and walking skeletons that represent the contact between the spiritual and physical world and between the living and the dead. Human figures that are often represented on Halloween are witches and wizards\, who are seen to have the power to contact the spirit world. Bats\, black cats and spiders are often connected with this holiday. These animals are associated with the night and darkness and often accompany witches and wizards. \nThere are also a range of objects associated with Halloween. These include blood\, fire\, gravestones\, pumpkins\, bones and skulls. They all have connections with death\, the spirit world or protecting property from evil spirits. Many of these objects are now available in stores as decorations for the Halloween season. \n
