Absolutely right. In English we say, "Mother's Day (or any other event) IS next month". My guess is that this is the norm for impending (as in next week, month, semester) events, because when speaking of events further out, we would use the explicit future, e.g. "Christmas will be on a Tuesday next year."

In Russia международный женский день (International Women's Day) is being celebrated. It even is an official holiday.

Mother's Day with the apostrophe before the 's' is an oddity because grammatically it should be Mothers' Day, but English grammar and law can differ as they do here, for it is normally written as Mother's Day.

Mothers' Day, not Mother's Day, it is a day celebrating mothers in the plural, not just the speaker's own mother
