What Day?
August is the eighth month of the Gregorian calendar and is known for its long days and warm weather in the Northern Hemisphere. It was named after Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor who ruled during the time the month was established. In many countries, August marks the end of summer and the beginning of the back-to-school season. It is a popular month for vacations, beach trips, and outdoor activities before the weather begins to cool down. In the USA, August does not have any federal holidays, but it is still an important month for some celebrations and observances. One of the most notable events is National Aviation Day on August 19, which commemorates the birthday of Orville Wright, one of the pioneers of aviation. Additionally, some states and cities hold their own festivities, such as the Iowa State Fair and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. August is also an important month for sports, as it marks the beginning of the football season with preseason games and training camps.
