Kick Off Your Summer With Our June Communications Calendar
May 29, 2025
By: Emma Fairbanks-Lee
June marks the beginning of the summer season, and with it a host of meaningful dates and events.
This month, we look to celebrate the rich traditions and contributions of Caribbean-American communities during National Caribbean-American Heritage Month.
June is also Pride Month, an opportunity to commemorate the history, culture, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
See more about what to expect in June below:
June 1: National Say Something Nice Day
Kick off June on a positive note by paying a compliment to those around you.
June 5: World Environment Day
World Environment Day raises awareness and promotes action on environmental issues. This is a chance for your organization to promote environmental and sustainability initiatives and inform the community on how they can get involved.
June 6: D-Day
On this day in 1944, the Allies invaded Nazi occupied Normandy during World War II, marking a turning point in the war.
June 6: National Higher Education Day
National Higher Education Day aims to inspire and encourage individuals to pursue higher education, highlighting its benefits and raising awareness on college readiness programs. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase any scholarships, programs, or resources your organization offers or supports.
June 12: National Loving Day
On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court ended the legal discrimination against interracial marriage in the Loving v. Virginia case. This anniversary serves as a perfect reminder to celebrate love and embrace diversity.
June 13: Wear Blue Day
Wear Blue Day, which falls on the Friday of Men’s Health Week, aims to raise awareness about men’s health and encourage proactive steps towards better physical and mental well-being. Take some time on this day, and throughout the week, to share resources in your community.
June 15: Father’s Day
On the third Sunday of June, we celebrate fathers and father-figures for their contributions to raising the next generation. Take some time on this day to shout out the fathers in your life and provide any parental resources in your community.
June 19: Juneteenth
Juneteenth marks the day when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery and free those enslaved there. Mark this occasion by celebrating and promoting equality and diversity at your organization and in the community.
June 20: Summer Solstice
Break out the sunglasses, beach towels, and sunscreen because June 20 is not only the longest day of the year, but it also marks the official start to summer.
June 20: World Refugee Day
World Refugee Day, organized by the United Nations, celebrates refugees from around the world. With the heightened focus on immigration currently, this day provides a prime opportunity to share vital resources for refugees and immigrants and highlight the positive contributions they make in your community.
June 21: Summersgiving
Summersgiving is exactly what it sounds like, Thanksgiving in the summer. Take this chance to take stock of what you're grateful for, eat some good food, and give back to your community.
June 27: National HIV Testing Day
National HIV Testing Day raises awareness about the importance of HIV testing, as early detection can significantly improve health outcomes and reduce the risk of transmission to others.
HIV disproportionately affects those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, as well the Black and Latino population, due to challenges related to HIV prevention, treatment, and access to healthcare. This is an important time to share vital resources for those in your community to help with the prevention of the disease.
June 30: Social Media Day
As communicators, social media is more important than ever to get our messages out there. Take some time on June 30 to review your social media strategy and consider how you may increase your engagement.
June 30-July 13: Wimbledon
The end of June kicks off the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon. Whether you watch for the love of the game or the celebrity and royal sightings, the grass court tournament is a great summer tradition to tune into.
