Things to Celebrate in November by Poppy Flynn Every day of month has some kind of official celebration and usually more than one! It might be big, it might be small…it might be wacky or downright bizarre! There are over 1500 National Days throughout the year, here’s just one observance of the many for each day in November 2020.
November 6th - National Nachos Day
Celebrate your favourite author by curling up with a good book.
In 1943 the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan dropped in on a Piedras Negras hotspot called the Victory Club. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed but a manager named Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya decided to throw a dish together based on whatever ingredients he still had left. He sliced the tortillas into triangles, added some shredded cheddar and jalapeño peppers and Nachos were born.
November 2nd - Look for Circles Day
November 7th - International Stout Day
This is what it says. Circles are everywhere; wheels on your car, various fruits and veggies, bubbles. See how many you can find. Why? Who knows!
Celebrated on the first Thursday in November. Stouts have become some of the favourite beers around the world. So on November 3, 2011 they were recognised with the first International Stout Day. Cheers!

November 3rd - National Sandwich Day
November 8th National Cappuccino Day
John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich was a heavy gambler. In 1762, he asked his cook to prepare a meal that wouldn’t require cutlery thus allowing himself to remain at the gambling table and not interrupt his game. The sandwich wasn’t a new invention, but it was named after him.
