Frequently asked questions
Which September social media holidays are actually worth posting about?
Labor Day, World Suicide Prevention Day and the autumn equinox are the September dates with real audience attention behind them, and they are worth planning properly. Most of the rest are invented awareness days: a marketer registered them, and posting about one mainly signals that the account had nothing of its own to say. For September our advice is to skip International Podcast Day unless the day is genuinely your subject. Two posts you would have made anyway beat ten borrowed from a list.
Which September dates move each year?
Labor Day is the first Monday in September in the United States, and the equinox falls on 22 or 23 September, which is the spring equinox in the southern hemisphere. This page describes the rule that fixes each one rather than printing a date, because a calendar that confidently prints the wrong day for a moveable holiday is worse than no calendar at all. Confirm the exact day against a current calendar before you schedule anything.
How far ahead should I plan September content?
Four to six weeks covers most September dates: long enough to brief creative, get approvals and build the supporting email. September is when Q4 planning has to be finished, not started. Anything involving paid media or stock needs longer.
Where are the other months?
Every month has its own page. The previous one is August and the next is October. The full twelve-month calendar lists all sixty dates in one place with search and month filters, and there is a separate 2027 planning page if you are building a whole year at once.
