How to celebrate Aug 6th

Start your day with a burst of energy by cycling to a nearby park or beach. Bring along a frisbee to celebrate National Disc Golf Day or a deck of cards for National Playing Card Collection Day. While there, wiggle your toes in the sand for National Wiggle Your Toes Day and build sandcastles for Sandcastle Day.

Afterwards, take a break and enjoy a relaxing picnic. Pack some sandwiches with a side of mustard for National Mustard Day, and don’t forget a refreshing root beer float to commemorate National Root Beer Float Day. Toast with a glass of mead for National Mead Day and indulge in a Jamaican patty to honor National Jamaican Patty Day.

As the sun begins to set, head to a local farm to express gratitude for Farmworker Appreciation Day. Bring a bouquet of balloons to release in remembrance for Balloons to Heaven Day. Then, end your day with some soulful blues music for International Blues Music Day.

Before bed, brush your teeth for National Fresh Breath Day and plan a scuba diving adventure for International Scuba Day. Reflect on the joys of the day and appreciate the simple pleasures that these weird national holidays bring.
