National Day Calendar is a website and online database of holidays, consisting of both widely recognized celebrations—such as religious celebrations and public holidays—as well "sponsored" days—where an individual or organization pays to have a specific holiday listed on the website.[5][6] It was founded January 19, 2013 by Marlo Anderson.[1][7] Anderson was inspired to create the site when trying and failing to find information about a "National Popcorn Day".[4]

The holidays listed on the site are commonly featured in local newspapers, on radio programs and on social media.[3][7][4] The site's services have also featured on televisions shows such as a 2019 episode of Vanderpump Rules.[8]

In 2018, it was reported that, with C3 Entertainment, the company was developing a movie based on Anderson's experiences with the National Day Calendar, under the name National Daze.[9]
