What 'National Day' is today? Here is the full May 2023 calendar (2025)

While every month has an interesting mix of national, international and world days, few can compete with what’s in store in May. Besides Memorial Day, Cinco de Mayo and Star Wars Day—yes, May the Fourth be with you as well—the fifth month of the year also produces legendary holidays and special days such as Top Gun Day, International Doodle Dog Day, International Harry Potter Day, and one of our favorites, International Respect for Chickens Day.
