Welcome to February // Bienvenido a febrero
Planeta.com continues to update our monthly calendars. The following are the mostly evergreen celebrations that occur annually in February, the month of love, of Valentine’s Day. The day before Valentine’s Day is World Radio Day and a week after Valentine’s Day is International Mother Language Day. Thanks, moms! February commemorates the Waitangi Treaty, first Sámi congress, the RAMSAR convention, and the Mexican constitution. In the USA a month-long reflection on Black history.
