June is “National Month” Calendar
How Businesses Celebrate the Month of June

By Lahle Wolfe, About.com

Many countries adopt causes or a special interest group to promote during a particular calendar month. The United States is particularly prolific at creating "national month" events to promote business interests.

Interesting how "National Hunger Awareness Month" coincides with so many food-related "National" observances. (I think "Turkey Lover's Month" should be in November!)

The following events are observed calendar month-long (unless otherwise indicated):
