September holidays — 2022

• September 3rd – National Hummingbird Day – share the energy.
• September 5th – Labor Day – Take time to honor our American workers.
• September 6th – National Read a Book Day – Encourage reading by sharing your favorite book, starting a book club, or curating content from your local library.
• September 8th – Star Trek Day – Trekkies unite!
• September 10th – Swap Ideas Day – This is a great time to survey your readers to find out what they’d like to see in your newsletters.
• September 11th – Patriot Day – Also known as Remembrance Day. And, by those who lived it, it’s most often called, simply, “nine-eleven.”
• September 13th – Positive Thinking Day – Keep those positive thoughts going. You can do it.
• September 16th – National POW/MIA Recognition Day
• September 21st – World Gratitude Day – Express your gratitude for your customers.
• September 22nd – Fall Equinox
• September 23rd – The start of Seed Gathering Season (UK) – This may be a United Kingdom holiday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t share it with your audience.
• September 25th – World Rivers Day – While I’m partial to this day, I’d like it more if it was “World River’s Day.” What a difference an apostrophe makes.
• September 28th – National Good Neighbor Day – Sign the pledge. Be a good neighbor.

A few thought starters

National Food Bank Day (Sept. 2nd)

Build relationships. Partner with a local food bank and host a food drive to help them shore up their resources for the coming winter.

World’s Biggest Coffee Morning (Sept. 30th):

Many coffee houses offer free coffee on September 30^th.  If there is a coffee shop near you doing a promotion try to create a cross promotion to celebrate the day.
