idk if Western Catholics have anything extra special going on this time of year, unless you find something in research or pray about it and get an idea, although given this was a thing pre-schism in the east I'm wondering if the West should also be doing something like this and posting for people to think about, meditate on, etc.
it's a time perhaps for secular business, or prayer and fasting individually
(eastern catholics I think broke off from orthodox back to catholicism, and orthodox have been observing this fast pre-schism I believe, so it is a historically "Catholic" fast when both churches were united as one, I think, but more in the east)
well the transfiguration is on the 6th, it's just a regular feast though I think
(I'm not sure if dormition and assumption are used interchangeably as words, assumption is western, dormition eastern, see link below for comparison article):

the day before certain major feasts traditionally is called a vigil, like the day before the assumption (15th) is the vigil of the assumption (14th). But I don't think there's fasting or abstinence required. Assumption is a holy day
edit: I'm trying to figure out the liturgical year more. The "time after pentecost" traditionally (or "ordinary time" for the Vatican 2 followers) is like half the year and not as much going on. The fall has advent / Christmas / Epiphany, a break, then Lent / Easter / Eastertide (Time after Easter) / Pentecost. So this was one thing I stumbled upon, along with the "apostles' fast" (another eastern catholic / orthodox fast) back in June, that are part of the in between time:
