Your July Birthday – July Holidays, Traditions and More



July is a great summer month! It's time for fireworks, family picnics and lazy afternoons by the pool. What else is there to celebrate in July? Oh, oodles of stuff! Get a load of all these cool holidays:

Monthly Observances
July is National Doghouse Repair Month, as well as the National Month for grilling, ice cream, horseradish, hot dogs, making a difference to children, parks and recreation, sharing a sunset with your lover, and it's also National Wheelchair Beautification Month, so it's time to pimp your ride! July is also the International Blondie and Deborah Harry Month, so make sure to rock a little "Heart of Glass" and "Rapture" at your barbecue!


Weirdest Holiday: Take Your Houseplant for a Walk Day (27th). Coolest Holiday: Gorgeous Grandma Day (23rd).

July Traditions

Zodiac sign: Cancer (1- 22) and Leo (23-31; see August for details).
