November 2025 – Holidays and Observations
The middle “BER Month”, it’s November!
Below you’ll find some (mostly US based) month, week, and daylong celebrations/observations. We picked those we think fit the content of this site. Maybe we missed some, maybe we added some you don’t think belong. Let us know!
I will be filling these in as soon as possible so you can learn more about each observance or holiday, but for now just enjoy the list.
Check out our other side, deedni, for a list of Money/Tech/Business related holidays and observations in November.
