What is a social media calendar?
A social media calendar is a plan of what you will post, where and when, laid out by date. A yearly calendar starts from the dates you cannot move: public holidays, the days your audience celebrates and the yearly awareness days brands post about. With those marked, you fill the weeks around them with your own content, so a holiday never arrives unplanned. Use the calendar above for 2027, then plan the detail month by month with the monthly social media planner.
What are the US public holidays in 2027?
