  • Parents' Day:

    [fed-ob] (a) Designation.— The fourth Sunday in July is Parents’ Day.

Notes:

[fed-ob] United States federal observances are days, weeks, months, or other periods designated by the United States Congress for the commemoration or other observance of various events, activities, or topics.
