If you’re looking for reasons to get outdoors and have fun with other people, all you need to do is take a look at the calendar. Each and every month, all kinds of holidays and special events can be enjoyed around the US. State and national holidays give people lots of ways to celebrate and enjoy themselves, with parades, fireworks, live entertainment, food, parties, and more.
