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.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year. Sites that do, IMHO are making some of their days up.  Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2010 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free.   We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

Full Moon on  the 23rd  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.
