The Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Office invites you to utilize this Monthly Observances and Celebrations calendar as a resource to expand awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the variety of cultural and religious occasions observed by members of the FSU community. To maximize inclusivity, it is important to take these days of remembrance, observance, and celebration into consideration when planning events.

Please note that in many cultures and religions, observances fall on different dates each year, as not all cultures and countries follow the Gregorian calendar. Many use a Lunar calendar or other time measurement system. For some holidays observed on the Lunar calendar, the observance begins at sunset of the preceding day.

This calendar is not comprehensive of all religious and cultural observances, and is continuously amended to reflect the most accurate and current information. If you would like to recommend a holiday or observance to be added to this calendar, please email us at diversity@fsu.edu.
