Month of July 2024 Holidays and Observances
July is a bit shorter on holidays than other months, but there are still plenty of month-long holidays in July. Find one relevant to your business or cause and plan a campaign.
This section is followed by the multi-day holidays and then the daily observances. Jump right to daily holidays.
July’s birthstone is ruby – hence the color of the month is red.
July’s flower of the month is Larkspur, also known as Delphinium, and water lily is another July birth flower option.
