Holidays to Celebrate Throughout the Year
When people think of a holiday party, it’s usually associated with an end-of-the-year party, around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. However, there’s no need to stop there when you can get a head start on planning ahead for the next year. Traditional holidays throughout the year are fun to celebrate as well and can bring some exciting themes to go along with them.
- Valentine’s Day
- St. Patrick’s Day
- Easter
- Mardi Gras

- Cinco de Mayo

Wacky Holidays to Inspire Unique Office Party Ideas
If you’re looking to diversify your party ideas beyond traditional holidays, work-related holidays are always a unique way to celebrate. So, create a quirky and special social calendar that will have the office buzzing. These parties are also a great way to incorporate a company-specific holiday onto the calendar. For example, a doughnut company can celebrate National Doughnut Day on June 7th, and a health care center or hospital can celebrate nurses on National Nurses Day on May 12th.
