United States
Category: United States
Highlighting events in or celebrating the nations and cultures the United States of America.
This is the largest single category in LEEP Calendar. The United States of America is the default nation in the calendar. If you do not see an ISO two-letter code in the event title, it is a US event.
The United States’ two-letter ISO code (US) only appears if a state or territory is involved or if more than one country observes the event.
Example: Agriculture Week, Ntl., (US/CA/UK/AU): August 14-20
If the event is specific to a state, it will include one of the two-letter ISO designations for states.
