Do other countries/areas of the world have entire months dedicated to some specific thing, such as Pride month, AAPI month, Black History month, etc. Part of me thinks this is a U.S.-specific phenomenon, but I’m curious about the rest of the world.

We def have pride “month” in Australia.
However, most cities have pride festivals at other times of year like my city had a bunch of events over 2 weeks in Febreuary.
IDK why it’s a whole month? You’re right it’s unusual. We celebrate different sports for different periods of time. IDK if that counts.
People refer to “Christmas time” or “over christmas” as a vague period of several weeks. “We’re going to visit mum and dad over christmas” implies a week or more.
