Here are the important February dates for your calendar
February – a month that somehow manages to feel both short and full at the same time. The dark nights linger, but slowly they’re making way for longer evenings - a gentle reminder that spring isn't far away.
This is the month of love, kindness, and big moments on the global stage – from celebrating science and recognising LGBT+ History Month, to cheering on your favourite team at the Super Bowl. And when things feel heavy, there’s always a small gesture or a thoughtful day to lift spirits – because February proves that even in the shortest month, there’s plenty to celebrate.
Here are a few key February dates to help you plan your social content and sprinkle some joy into the month.
💌 This month is:
- Shortest Month of the Year
- LGBT+ History Month
- American Heart Month
