About May 2024 Calendar with Holidays

There are more than a few big May holidays for you to enjoy. Among the biggies is The Kentucky Derby, held early on the first Saturday of the month. Mint Juleps anyone!? Then, we get to honor and celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day. We end the month with Memorial Day as we honor the veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect and preserve our liberties and freedom. Memorial Day also signifies the beginning of summer, even though it has not yet arrived meteorologically. But, that’s not all May has to offer. There are plenty of May National holidays and international holidays to enjoy. So, fill your May 2024 calendar with holidays big and small. As a matter of fact, celebrate them all!
