There exist [[Zamenhof-Esperanto object]]s (ZEOs), scattered in numerous countries around the world, which are the things named in honor of [[L. L. Zamenhof]] or Esperanto: monuments, street names, places and so on. There also exists a [[Universal Esperanto Association|UEA]]-committee for ZEOs.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.uea.org/asocio/komisionoj/zeoj| title = "Zamenhof/Esperanto-objektoj (ZEO-j)" en la retejo de UEA}}</ref>

In addition, in several countries there are also sites dedicated to Esperanto: meetup places, workshops, seminars, festivals, Esperanto houses. These places provide attractions for Esperantists. Here are two: the [[Castle of Grésilion]] in [[France]] and the [[Department of Planned Languages and Esperanto Museum]] in [[Vienna]] ([[Austria]]).

{{main article|Esperanto literature}}
Esperanto literary heritage is the richest and the most diverse of any constructed language. There are over 25,000 Esperanto books (originals and translations) as well as over a hundred regularly distributed [[List of Esperanto magazines|Esperanto magazines]].

There are also a [[List of Esperanto-language films|number of movies]] which have been published in Esperanto. Moreover, Esperanto itself was used in numerous movies.

=== Celebrations ===
Many public holidays recognized by Esperanto speakers are celebrated internationally, having gained full acceptance by organizations such as [[UN]] and [[UNESCO]], and are also publicly observed in select countries that are UN members. This is largely a byproduct of the influence the Esperanto community once had on organizations that worked in the field of international relations (including the United Nations) in the mid-20th century.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Fians |first=Guilherme |date=2021 |title=Esperanto Revolutionaries and Geeks |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-84230-7 |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-84230-7|isbn=978-3-030-84229-1 |s2cid=245721938 }}</ref> Here are the celebrations proposed as international holidays by the [[Universal Esperanto Association|UEA]] since 2010:

=== Cultural events ===

Every year numerous meetings of Esperanto speakers in different topics around the world take place. They mobilize Esperanto-speakers which share the same will about a specific topic. The main example is the [[Universal Congress of Esperanto]] (UK), a week-long summer conference organized annually by the [[Universal Esperanto Association|UEA]]. Other events:
* [[SAT-Kongreso]], annually organized by [[Sennacieca Asocio Tutmonda]];
* [[International Youth Congress of Esperanto]] (IJK), official annual congress of [[TEJO]];
* [[Internacia Infana Kongreseto]] (IIK), arrangement for children between 6 and 16 years that occur simultaneously with and close to the Universal Congress of Esperanto;
* [[Somera Esperanto-Studado]] (SES), the largest international Esperanto meeting aimed at learning of Esperanto.

Next to these globally comprising meetings there are also local events such as [[Novjara Renkontiĝo|New Year's Gathering]] (NR) or [[Esperanto Youth Week]] (JES), which occur during the last days of December and first days of January. These meetings seem to have been successful during the last 20 years.

Due to the fact that there are a lot of Esperanto meetings around the globe, there are websites which aim to list and share them. Eventa Servo provides an up-to-date list of online meetings and in-person events happening each week. Eventoj.hu describes events with a list and dates, and contains an archive until 1996.
