Hey guys. In my next campaign, I intend to track the days of the year as the players go through the campaign very closely. I'm relatively familiar with the calendar as it's described in the Players Handbook/DM's Guide/Sword Coast Guide, but are there any more in depth sources I can consult on the calendar, seasonal changes, special holidays, etc.?
Some of the sourcebooks for 3.5 have a lot detailed world information in them regarding calendars. Some of it would be horribly out of date or inappropriate given changes to the setting, but it should give some inspiration or ideas at the very least.
This has a lot of good links to dates, religious ceremonies, festival traditions, etc. that you can steal from. I've found it to be immensely helpful :)

Waterdeep: Dragonheist is full of these little holidays and festivals, many seem to be local, but quite a few could be used on a larger scale.

Wizards actually has a calendar tool that includes the various months/holidays and what not.
