Widely used by the Ancients, this calendar was precise enough to still be used by almost all modern peoples. And while some of the old meanings and festivals no longer retain their ancient importance, the calendar itself has helped the peoples of Hijr manage their lives and seasons for hundreds of years.

Traditionally, the 37th day of any month (so long as that month has 37 days, of course) is set aside as a designated rest and feast day.
These events tend to be large affairs, with community activities such as games, festivals, potlucks, and similar things.
While this 37th day is not really associated with it's parent month, more being seen as a floating "free" day, it does of course fall within only certain calendar months.
