Dates worth marking in May
- 1 May: May Day (Friday)
These are widely observed fixed dates rather than a complete public-holiday list, holidays vary considerably by country, and several move each year.
What May 2026 looks like on paper
May 2026 needs six week rows on a grid that starts on Sunday, because the 31 days begin on a Friday. Six rows is the awkward case: the same page height is divided one more time, so every date box is noticeably shorter than in a five-row month. Landscape helps more here than usual.
3 weekdays fall five times: Sunday, Friday, Saturday. That matters for anything paid or scheduled weekly, since a five-Sunday month carries an extra one of whatever happens on that day. 10 of the 31 days fall at a weekend.
Pair it with a planner
A month grid is the right place for fixed commitments and the wrong place for planning work. Put appointments here, then use the weekly and daily planner for the actual scheduling, the habit tracker for daily repeats, and the meal planner for the week’s food. To work out how many days until a date in May, use the date difference calculator.
Orientation, the notes column and print scaling work the same way on every month, so that advice lives once on the calendar generator rather than being repeated on all twelve.
