Key dates for brands in Canada, the US and the Dominican Republic: September 2026 to May 2027

How to use this calendar
- Choose, do not chase. You do not need to post on every date. Pick the ones that make sense for your brand and your audience.
- Plan ahead. Seasonal content works best when it is ready weeks before the date, not the night before.
- Respect the context. A cheerful promotion on a day of mourning can damage a brand more than silence.
Some dates in the Dominican Republic can be moved by official decision from one year to the next, so confirm them before you publish. Want help turning these dates into a content plan? Let’s talk.
