The International Federation for Choral Music sponsors World Choral Day. The theme for 2011 is "Solidarity." The event was proposed by Alberto Grau during the 1990 2nd World Symposium on Choral Music in Helsinki, Finland, to foster "solidarity, peace, and understanding."

December 11th is Worldwide Candle Lighting Day, created by the Compassionate Friends. At 7:00 p.m., your local time, "light a candle for all children who have died...that their light may always shine."

Burkina Faso observes Proclamation of the Republic today.
