Here's a Full List of November Holidays and Observances
There may only be 30 days in the month of November, but there are way more than 30 reasons to celebrate. In addition to Thanksgiving and Veterans Day, November is also known as National Native American Heritage Month — though of course, the histories, cultures, and contributions of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Island communities should be recognized every day. November holidays and observances also include plenty of food-centric celebrations (such as National Deep Fried Clams Day and National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day) and funny traditions (such as Use Your Common Sense Day and Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day).
Before Daylight Savings officially ends on Nov. 6 and gives you an extra hour of sleep, the first few days of November include All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, and Day of the Dead (otherwise known as Día de los Muertos), among others. And then once the sun starts setting earlier in the day, you can look forward to plenty of other traditions, ranging from the solemn to the silly to the sentimental. Here are all the holidays and events taking place in November 2022, all leading up to the best food day (and the best gift buying days!) of the year.
