I believe we technically have a pride month here as well but it's only "celebrated" by rather niche group of people. Mostly it's just a month of trying to make money by selling rainbow colored things.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

In Costa Rica elections are a whole thing, like everyone's out with flags on cars and megaphones yelling about one of the 20+ political parties.
Also Semana Santa is a week long Catholic holiday.
Thankfully not here in Australia.
You must sleep through March.
Apparently. What was March?
Pretty sure December is Christmas month in many parts of the world.
And late oct early nov, some kind of dead/death month in the americas, europe, india, and the pacific
We def have pride "month" in Australia.
However, most cities have pride festivals at other times of year like my city had a bunch of events over 2 weeks in Febreuary.
IDK why it's a whole month? You're right it's unusual. We celebrate different sports for different periods of time. IDK if that counts.
People refer to "Christmas time" or "over christmas" as a vague period of several weeks. "We're going to visit mum and dad over christmas" implies a week or more.
Some came over from the US but traditionally, not. Not even memorial days are that common. Just the big ones and the Cristian holidays.
New Zealand music month is great for getting out and seeing local bands play.
Aw man, we need some of that everywhere.
Neat! Music month sounds awesome.
June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since Catholics live everywhere, I would say month long celebrations are everywhere.
And May was the month of Mary!
With exception of religious celebrations like easter or ramadan, I don't think there are any long term dedicated celebrations. At least here in my part of eastern europe.
