From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers
Unlike religious, tribal, and local festivals, which usually are connected to solar, lunar, or stellar sightings, Secular Holidays tend to take place on dates linked to the world's secular, or governmental calendars. Despite this, they are regional festivities that bring joy to the people in the lands where they are celebrated, and over time a great deal of folklore and folk magic attaches to them.
Because the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers is based in the United States of America, we are keeping a calendar of American secular holidays here. These days have special meaning to us beyond the concept of "a day off from work," and in their own secular way, they mark the seasons as surely as do the Taoist Seasonal Festivals, Pagan and Neo-Pagan Wheel of the Year, or cycle of yearly Christian or Jewish festivals.
- New Year's Eve
- Leap Year Day
- Groundhog Day

- May Day or International Labour Day
- Memorial or Decoration Day
- Mother's Day
- Father's Day
- Juneteenth
- July Fourth and Other National Holidays
