August 2026 begins on Saturday, August 1, and ends on Monday, August 31, giving the month 31 days and five full weekends. Its layout makes it one of the most flexible months of the year for planning extended trips, community events, or longer projects.
Several important dates occur during August 2026. In South Africa, Women’s Day is observed on Sunday, August 9. Assumption Day, a public holiday in many countries, falls on Saturday, August 15. While the United States does not have a federal holiday in August, many schools prepare to reopen, making it an important month for families to get organized.
Seasonally, August brings late summer in the Northern Hemisphere, often filled with festivals, vacations, and the last stretch of warm weather before autumn begins. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the close of winter, with calendars shifting toward spring activities and term transitions.
A printable August 2026 calendar is not only useful for mapping out the busy weeks ahead but also for preparing smoothly for the seasonal changes September will bring.
