August 2025 begins on Friday, August 1, and ends on Sunday, August 31, giving the month 31 days. This year, August features five full weekends, making it especially useful for planning vacations, festivals, and family gatherings.
Several important dates occur in August. Civic Holiday in parts of Canada falls on Monday, August 4, while Women’s Day in South Africa is observed on Saturday, August 9. In the United States, Labor Day does not fall until September, but August often serves as the final stretch of summer break before schools reopen. Internationally, Assumption Day is celebrated on Friday, August 15 in many countries.
Seasonally, August marks late summer in the Northern Hemisphere, a time when schools prepare to reopen, workplaces resume regular schedules, and families wrap up summer travel. In the Southern Hemisphere, August is the tail end of winter, with calendars often focused on school terms, cultural events, and preparations for spring.
