Day of the Dead: October 31 - November 2

Day of the Dead, also known as the Dia de los Muertos, is frequently mistaken for the "Mexican Halloween" due to its use of skeletons and when it's celebrated.

Veterans Day: November 11

Veterans Day is a federal holiday recognized each November to celebrate and honor all U.S. veterans — deceased or living. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day, a day to remember those service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. Memorial Day is in May of each year.

Thanksgiving: November 28 

Thanksgiving is a day for people in the US to give thanks for what they have. Families and friends get together for a meal, which traditionally includes a roast turkey, stuffing, gravy, and more. However, not everyone sees Thanksgiving as a cause for celebration. Some in the US Native American community feel the mythology of the holiday ignores the destruction of indigenous cultures that followed European settlement.
