We've curated a list of 13 social media holidays that will keep your audience engaged and entertained this month, from celebrations rooted in patriotism to delightful snacks.
These holidays are a great opportunity to get inspired by the creative way various brands leverage these holidays to engage with their online audiences.
Kick off the month with a laugh – it’s International Joke Day! This event is all about spreading smiles and embracing the infectious quality of laughter. From jokes to funny videos, there’s no better time to flood social with fun and humor.
Whether you believe we’re not alone in the universe or simply love a good conspiracy theory, World UFO Day is for you. Stir up some excitement on social by posting intriguing questions, hypothetical scenarios, or sharing famous UFO and UAP sightings.
Commemorate the birth of American independence on the 4 of July, with patriotism, fireworks, and barbecues to boot.
As the saying goes, life is like a box of chocolates. Join the festivities by buying your favorite chocolates, sharing recipes, or even making some chocolate from scratch.
Poll idea: Milk chocolate versus white and dark chocolate.
On Cheer Up the Lonely Day, let's focus on spreading joy and companionship. Think of people who might be feeling lonely or isolated and find creative ways to brighten someone's day. Even the smallest act of kindness can make a significant impact.
Bastille Day signifies the Storming of the Bastille, which to many historians unofficially created the climate for the French Revolution to unfold. Encourage your followers to immerse themselves in the richness of French culture, from its exquisite cuisine to its traditions.
Celebrate generosity and selflessness this Give Something Away Day. Why not kickstart a giveaway on your socials or encourage your followers to give back to their community?
There's no better time than World Emoji Day to immerse yourself in the language of the digital era. These tiny symbols have revolutionized communication as we know it.
Spark debates about the most superior emojis or encourage your followers to create stories using only emojis. After all, an emoji (essentially a miniature picture) is worth a thousand words.
World Listening Day is a reminder about the power of active listening. Take a moment to simply listen – to the sounds of nature, music, or each other. Highlight incredible sounds that help us appreciate the world around us or initiate conversations with your online community about how we can all enhance our listening skills.
This day honors Nelson Mandela, South Africa's former president and a champion of human rights for all. Invite your followers to reflect on his enduring legacy and to embody his timeless teachings.
Savor the sweetness of Ice Cream Day, from classic to adventurous flavors (we’re talking mayo, sweet chili, or even mac and cheese ice cream). With a scoop for every palate, this is just one of those days to let your cravings take the lead.

Dust off those classic puns and punchlines for Tell an Old Joke Day. It's really just about nostalgia, humor, and appreciating the jokes that never fail to get a laugh. The more followers you get to participate, the merrier.
Wrap up the month by celebrating the bonds we share with our friends on International Day of Friendship. Send love and appreciation to your friends, whether they are far or near, and set the pace for your followers to do the same.
That’s a wrap!
