In August, we strap in for the biggest sporting event around — The Rio Olympics! However, there are heaps of other days to keep in mind for August. Jeans for Genes day, RSPCA Cupcake Day, Snuffleupagus’s Birthday — and let us not forget the controversial historical day, Pluto Demoted Day.
Check out the key dates for June and July here. September’s dates will be with use very soon!
