There may only be 30 days in June, but the month is chock-full of reasons to celebrate. In addition to Father's Day, Flag Day, and Juneteenth, June is also Pride Month — and there are many more celebratory events throughout the month that you may not even know about. From fun, food-centric national days (like National Egg Roll Day and National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day) to serious days of remembrance (like D-Day and National Cancer Survivors Day), June's holidays and observances include important dates and shareable occasions for everyone. If you're looking to start planning out your month, then you've come to the right place.

Before summer 2022 officially begins on June 21, the last days of spring include a wide range of holidays, including the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, the Christian holiday of Pentecost, and the British Sovereign ceremony of Trooping the Colour, among others. And then once summer hits, you can look forward to plenty of other traditions, ranging from Take Your Dog to Work Day to National Waffle Iron Day. From the solemn to the silly to the sentimental, here is a comprehensive list of holidays and observances taking place in June 2022. And here's hoping your June is full of warm weather, pool parties, and plenty of opportunities to gather with loved ones!
