2018 Calendar of U.S. Holidays

Having a calendar of holidays can certainly be helpful for any number of reasons. Planning and accounting for holidays is a huge part of running any company or nonprofit. Knowing when holidays and observances are ahead of time can also give marketers ample time to plan out promotional events before the occasion creeps up on them. This means greeting cards, calendars, and other seasonal promotional items can be designed well-ahead of time without needing to rush.

A calendar of holidays that includes other commonly observed events can be even more useful, as you’re better able to incorporate all these and interesting occasions in both your marketing and day-to-day activities. You can also add these observances to your own custom calendar designs to make them more interesting. Check out the calendar of holidays for 2018 below.
