July is often seen as the heart of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, with long days, school holidays, and travel filling the calendar. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s mid-winter, a season for indoor activities, academic schedules, and community events.
For 2026, July begins on Wednesday, July 1, and ends on Friday, July 31, giving the month 31 days and four full weekends. This structure makes it a balanced month for both work and personal plans.
Notable observances include Canada Day on Wednesday, July 1, and Independence Day in the United States on Saturday, July 4. Bastille Day in France is celebrated on Tuesday, July 14, while many other nations host cultural festivals throughout the month.
With its mix of national holidays, vacations, and mid-year schedules, the July 2026 calendar makes it easy to keep track of your daily plans - whether that means mapping out projects, marking travel dates, or simply leaving space for relaxation.
