March Random Holidays
I don’t know about you, but I don’t just want to live for the weekends. Finding little reasons to celebrate regularly will help you slow down the blur and create memories you cherish. Add some fun to your calendar and celebrate a few of these March random holidays with your family.
March Random Monthly Monthly Holidays:
Ready to randomly celebrate? I know that it can feel like trudging through life and just waiting for those short, coveted weekends. Since I found these random holidays and started adding a few to my family’s calendar, the weekdays don’t feel so dreary.
March is a month of crafting & freezing food. I guess they could go together, there is particular creativity about creating a frozen meal or cooking in general.
All month long, celebrate National Craft Month #nationalcraftmonth and Frozen Food Month #frozenfoodmonth. I know I will celebrate by crafting. My favorite crafts usually include paper and watercolor paints. If you had a day or two just to create, what would you do?

Are you from Minnesota, Kansas, West Virginia, or Nevada? Get ready to celebrate! It’s your state’s official statehood day during March!

Food-Related Celebrations
March has some fun random food holidays. Honestly, these random holidays are the easiest for me to celebrate. And they sometimes help me plan my dinners. Any time I can answer the ‘what’s for dinner question’ without hesitation is one-hundred percent a win. Plus, we get to randomly celebrate, so it makes it a #winwin!
I try to plan a freezer day for meals once a week or once every twice a week since it takes less effort, and it helps me keep track of what I have in my freezer.
Dinner Planning Holidays
6th National Frozen Food Day – in addition to a whole month dedicated to frozen food, it claims an entire day of its own.
7th – National Cereal Day – since it’s on a Saturday this year, I think that the kids should celebrate this day while I snooze.
9th – National Meatball Day – I love it when these national holidays make my dinner plans easier, too.
18th – National Sloppy Joe Day – Sloppy Joes are some of my husband’s favorite dinner meals. It looks like he is cooking this night.
28th – National Something on a Stick Day
25th – International Waffle Day – considering this is my oldest child’s favorite meal – I think I have dinner planned out for this day, too. Do you have breakfast for dinner?
Sweets & Snacks Holidays

Kindness/Happiness Holidays
I think we all need a little more kindness in the world. It’s something I’m personally working to enhance in my life. But sometimes we forget to be kind to ourselves as well. I’m working on the self-talk running through my head on a regular basis.
Here are some holidays to help remind both you and me to be kind to others and kind to ourselves.
9th – National get over it day – when I found this day while doing my Random Holidays research, I knew I needed to include it in my days to celebrate. I know I have many things to ‘get over,’ maybe it’s a day of renewal and refreshed outlook of life – who knows? But I might just try to ‘get over it.’
13th – National Good Samaritan Day – I absolutely believe that the world can use more good samaritans, and the only way that we are going to increase the number is by becoming one of the good. I know I have personally benefitted from a good samaritan, I’d love to pay it forward.
19th – National Let’s Laugh Day
20th – International Day of Happiness – I love that laugh day and day of happiness are so close to each other – coincidence? Maybe.
21st – National Common Courtesy Day
30th – National I am in control day – we all need a day to tell ourselves that we are in control, right?

Random Holidays – Google Calendar
After celebrating different holidays for over a year, I decided to create a Google Calendar to see all the holidays I’d love to celebrate. It makes it easy to share creations, words, and ideas on social media and with friends and family. The best part about Google calendars is that you can toggle them on and off when you don’t want to see them.
If you click on the calendar item, it has a link to the source & relevant hashtags! I’m always evolving this calendar – and I will add calendar days or corrections all the time.
Tip: The calendar will show the current month, you can navigate to the month of your choice by using the arrows or dropdown.
If you want to add my calendar to your Google calendar:
- Go to your Google calendars and click the + next to other calendars
- Choose ‘add other calendars.’
- Then click Subscribe to Calendar
- After that, paste the text below in the “add calendar.”
- Toggle the schedule on and off when you want to access it – that’s what I do.
