Just like all the other months, March has its share of bizarre, unusual, and unique holidays. March also has month long celebrations: Music in Our Schools Month, National Craft Month, National Frozen Food Month, National Irish American Heritage Month (designated by Congress in 1995), National Nutrition Month, National Peanut Month, National Women's History Month, Red Cross Month, and Social Workers Month.
In addition to the month long celebrations, March also has some week long celebrations. The second week in March is host to two celebrations: National Bubble Week and Crochet Week.
March 1 National Pig Day
March 1 Peanut Butter Lovers Day
March 2 Old Stuff Day—When asking someone "What's new?" or "What's happening?" you quite often get the stock answer of "Same old stuff." Old Stuff Day is in recognition of that standard answer indicating a boring life. This is a day to NOT do the same old stuff and perpetuate your boring routine. Do something…anything…as long as it's different.
