What big holidays are in July?
The major federal holiday celebrated in July is Independence Day, which is held annually on July 4. Independence Day is also commonly referred to as The 4th of July, the Fourth of July, and July 4th. The Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha is also in July. The holiday honors the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah’s command. The date varies from year to year, but Eid al-Adha begins in the evening on July 9, 2022, and ends in the evening on July 10, 2022.
Is July 4 a national holiday in the United States?
Yes, July 4 has been designated as a federal holiday in the United States. That means that non-essential federal government offices are closed for the day (as are most public companies!). There are also several other holidays on July 4. Those are National Country Music Day, Sidewalk Egg Frying Day, and National Barbecued Spare Ribs Day.
Is there a holiday on July 3, 2022?
Several holidays fall on July 3. Those are Disobedience Day, International Plastic Bag Free Day, National Stay Out of the Sun Day, National Eat Beans Day, Build a Scarecrow Day (observed the first Sunday in July), and Compliment Your Mirror Day. In many communities around the United States, Fourth of July celebrations begin early, with July 3 being the date for many fireworks displays and Independence Day celebrations.
Is July 13, 2022, a full moon?
Yep! The “Super Buck Moon” will occur on July 13, 2022. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the full moon that we see in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (aka bucks) reach their peak growth this time of the year. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, regrowing a larger set with each passing year. In 2022, the July Buck Moon also happens to be the biggest full moon of the year, called a supermoon. This has to do with the egg-shaped orbit that the moon makes around Earth, and how one moon per year is closest to Earth than any other. In 2022, that will happen in the month of July, making this month’s Buck Moon a supermoon. The July full moon is also known as the Thunder Moon because thunderstorms are so prevalent during the month of July.
