August holidays
National Coloring Book Day
On August 2nd, National Coloring Book Day is here to help you feel like a kid again. Get out the crayons and coloring books for a fun and relaxing activity. Coloring is for all ages!
National Watermelon Day
National Watermelon Day is August 3rd every year. If you haven’t sliced up a watermelon to enjoy a few pieces this summer, today is the perfect day. Watermelon is mostly water, so it’s refreshing on a hot day and is easy to blend into smoothies, cocktails, and more.
National Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day
According to Farmer’s Almanac, August 8th is the date of National Zucchini Day. This silly holiday came about because, at this time of year, farmers have been harvesting zucchini for a few months and still have plenty left. If you have a garden, now is the perfect day to share. Or just make a delicious zucchini and tortellini recipe.
Book Lovers Day
Drop everything and read on August 9th to celebrate Book Lovers Day. This holiday encourages everyone to put away electronics and spend their free time reading. Grab a book, a comic book, or even an audiobook to enjoy with your family.
National Tell a Joke Day
August 16th is National Tell a Joke Day. Share your favorite jokes, pick up a joke book from your library, or slip a silly joke into your child’s lunch box (if they’re back in school today).
National Beach Day
National Beach Day on August 30th is a celebration of beaches everywhere, with a special focus on keeping beaches clean for wildlife. Plan a party on the beach or just in your own backyard.
