2021 — A List of Global/International Observances Days
500+ global celebrations ranging from science to environment, spirituality to sports and more. See the 2022 edition here and the 2023 edition here.

As the founder of the Green Condom Club: a vegan condom brand without toxic chemicals and full ingredients transparency, it can be quite the challenge to get the word out among the various policies regulating adult products promotion online.
Searching for inspiration for our blog, I attempted to find an aggregated and comprehensive database of global/international observances for the year. Since what I found didn’t fit my needs, I came up with my own (see the 2022 edition here). I stayed as global as possible and ended up sorting the days in 18 categories:
🌎 Society, 🐠 Wildlife, 🌿 Environment, 🥗 Food & Drinks, 🩺 Health, 🎨 Art, 💼 Work, 📱Technology, 🧪 Science, 📚 Education, 🙏 Spirituality, ⚽️ Sport, 🎁 Kindness, 🗽 Public Figure, 🗣 Language, ❤️ Love, 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+, 🌀 Miscellaneous
You can now access to the full categorized list on www.internationaldays.co.
Each Day for 2021 is now available as an NFT card on OpenSea.
Here is a plain list below with the most known days. Cheers :)
