If you were to ask anyone what type of holidays there are in March, the only answer you would probably get would be St. Patrick’s Day. Yes, observing this religious holiday is important to do in remembrance of the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. Although, many people do not celebrate it in a religious way (go figure).

The month of March is primarily recognized for this holiday on March 17, but there are many more interesting and fun “holidays” that are not celebrated as often. In this article, I will discuss some of the unique days that make the month of March just a tad more special.
