Even before the onset of a New Year, people start planning about all the major events that are lined up in the upcoming months. 2015 Events is our attempt to make informed and organized plans.
Don’t you always want to know whether there is a long weekend in the upcoming New Year? Haven’t you ever sighed at sighting a holiday coinciding with a weekend? If you have, then our 2015 Events calendar would be the place for you to be and do all your holiday planning for round the year events and occurrences.
We at 123NewYear bring before you the list of Events round the globe scheduled for the year 2015. We have stressed on the events that are expected to take place in India, United Kingdom and the United States of America. This would help you to mark not only the festivals, but also the public holidays and bank holidays that at times become very essential in planning financial transactions and at times even to make your travel plans.
Festivals also make us remember the traditions and customs that are intertwined with the culture and heritage of each country, every region of the globe being unique in this aspect. Apart from that we have also included the major sporting events and their dates that are expected to happen round the world during the year 2015 so as to build up your excitement quotient further.
