All
our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations; or, we
validate the source or origin for an observance to prove it's not made
up. All
of my holiday and observances lists as a whole group are not
"fair use" information. (Individual holidays are owned
by their sponsors.) |

Remembrance Animation If you want "On This Day" in History
information, go to The
History Channel! Because dates are tentative and also change a lot, I'm
not going to list the Indian Tribal Gatherings per month. Thanks to
Jackie Butler for letting me know about Family Table Day. |

Full Moon on the 19th is the traditional "Harvest Moon" because this is the one that falls closest to the autumn equinox. Most of the time (2 out of 3 years) the Harvest Moon is in the month of September. Sometimes it will come in October. It name comes from the fact that farmers (and Indians) could harvest their crops late at night, by moonlight, because for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the United States.
