Hello. I think this is a common expression in Spanish but I don't think the literal translation works very well in English. Any nice ideas?
"en XXX, el mes de agosto se escribe con mayúsculas."
XXX is a residential complex in southern Spain which is perticularly lively in August when there are a number of key social and sporting events for the community.
Thanks for your help :)

busy with a capital B
Just a couple of suggestions:
At XXX, August is busy with a capital B (exchanging busy with any other adjective that matches the description)
or
At XXX, there's nothing bigger than the month of August.
At XXX, August is busy with a capital B (exchanging busy with any other adjective that matches the description)

August - "particularly in August"
En ingles los meses del ano son escritos con letras mayusculas. Tambien quiero que notes que deletreastes "perticularly" erroneamente. Debe leer - particularly
