How to celebrate Jul 5th

Wake up early and start your day by taking a moment to remember and honor your beloved pets on Pet Remembrance Day. After that, grab your favorite bikini and head to a nearby park or beach to celebrate National Bikini Day with some fun in the sun. While you’re there, why not try your luck at a game of hopscotch to celebrate National Hop-A-Park Day? Work up an appetite with all the outdoor activities and treat yourself to a delicious apple turnover for National Apple Turnover Day.

As the day progresses, channel your inner artist and participate in some cherry pit spitting in honor of International Cherry Pit Spitting Day. Grab a mechanical pencil and jot down some creative ideas; maybe even start drafting plans for a cozy weekend getaway to Hawaii for National Hawaii Day.

Feeling adventurous? Convince a friend to join you in a playful wife-carrying race to commemorate the unique holiday dedicated to this unusual sport. Afterwards, wind down by cooperatively working on a puzzle or playing board games to mark International Day of Cooperatives.

Cap off the day by challenging yourself to work without your hands, embracing the spirit of creativity and innovation on Work Without Your Hands Day. Reflect on the moments of productivity and relaxation experienced throughout the day, and end on a sweet note by enjoying some graham crackers for National Graham Cracker Day. Cheers to a day filled with fun, laughter, and unconventional celebrations!
