2024 INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAYS

2024 Public Holidays International Service

The above is the list of 2024 public holidays declared in International which includes federal, regional government holidays and popular observances. We also provide International holiday calendar for 2024 in Word, Excel, PDF and printable online formats.

International holidays are meant to facilitate the observance of important past events, raise awareness of an issue or appreciate the great value of an idea or input of people to the world or sections of the human population. World over, governments regulate the observance of public holidays. However, other authorities, like religious institutions, secular organizations, and cultural organizations, may authorize or recommend a holiday observance.

It would shock anyone to know the very wide variety of holidays that exist and are observed in the world, hundreds of them, albeit in not so grand ways. Many of these holidays are directed and backed by the United Nations and its specialized agencies. Some holidays seek to raise awareness of deadly diseases, an example being World Cancer Day, while others appreciate the value of professions and roles played by different people or groups. Good examples of such include International Women's Day and World Teachers Day.

Other holidays revolve around the improvement of living standards and quality of life like International Day of Poverty Eradication and World Humanitarian Day. A number of the internationally observed holidays cater for the appreciation of natural resources around us. Examples are World Water Day, International Day of Forests, World Habitat Day and many more. The list cannot be complete without covering holidays that remind us of the vital importance of a family; the Global Family Day does exactly that while the International Day of Families would be another excellent example among several others.

A section of internationally observed holidays seeks to remind us of the importance of human values and attributes that we may at most times take for granted or seem petty but go a long way in creating a better universe. In this category, we may include holidays like International Thank you Day, International Friendship Day, and International Day of Happiness, among many others. The list goes on; many other holidays are driven to achieve or point towards often ignored scopes of living and all other factors that make the world an exciting place to be and being alive a magical event.
