March is Women’s History Month. It’s important because women are the guardians of culture.
There are no U.S. national holidays in March. International Women’s Day (March 8) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) are popular holidays. Carnival Tuesday, the climax of the world’s biggest Latin party, is March 4, 2025.
March weather is early spring. Average temperatures range from 36° – 51°F (2°-10°C), so it’s still cold.
