A Stellar April Event

April 8 Solar Eclipse

A rare total solar eclipse occurs this month. The overall length of the eclipse is 9,000 miles. This once-in-a-lifetime event will cut a path beginning in the Pacific Ocean before moving across Mexico. It will then be seen by tens of millions of Americans as it cuts across the United States from Texas to New England before traveling through southeastern Canada and out into the Atlantic Ocean. Millions will throng to the area of totality to watch the event in a hopefully cloudless sky. Millions more will see a partial eclipse. Grab your solar glasses to watch as darkness spreads across the land.

Featured April 2024 Daily Holidays

Spring is bursting out all over with a brilliant display of flowers. The pollen that assaults our noses is no joke. However, April Fool’s Day starts the month with plenty of jokes and tomfoolery. Then, after the jokes subside, April national holidays and world holidays come one after the other. There is a profusion of fun and meaningful days. Among them is Administrative Professionals Day, formerly “Secretaries Day”. On Take Your Daughter to Work Day, our children explore career opportunities in our workplace.

As you begin to spend more time outdoors in the warm and sunny spring weather, make sure to save time to celebrate each and every holiday this month. So, fill your April 2024 calendar with holidays that are fun and quirky.

Dyngus Day

A Joyful Holiday

They say on Saint Patrick's Day everyone is a little bit Irish. On the Monday after Easter Sunday, we celebrate Polish Dyngus Day. On this festive holiday, everyone is a little bit Polish. Dyngus Day is a day of joyous celebration. Along with parties, parades, and other festivities, there is a romantic tradition to this holiday. Eligible boys and girls chase each other around with pussy willow twigs and water. The chase is fun. But, being caught by the right person is even more enjoyable. Let the beer and wine flow as we celebrate proud Polish customs.

If someone asks you where you are from today, tell them "Pochodzę z Poland."

Chinese Language Day

Nihao Ma

What is the most common language on the planet? Chinese Mandarin is the native language of more people than any other language in the world. As a result, UNESCO recognizes it with the creation of Chinese Language Day.

Did You Know? While Mandarin is the official language, China has over 200 different languages and dialects. Celebrate this holiday by speaking the language. If you are not fluent in any of the Chinese languages, enroll in a language course today!

Record Store Day

Play Me a Tune

The number of record stores peaked in the 1960s and 1970s when vinyl records were the standard music format. Audio formats change with the times and emerging technology. Today, most of us directly download our music from the Internet onto our devices. Or we listen to it directly on the Internet. As a result, record stores are disappearing every day.

So, we encourage you to visit a record store today, if only to soak in the nostalgic atmosphere of an earlier time.

National Pretzel Day

A Bow Shaped Salty Snack

How do you like your pretzel? Thick or thin? Straight or twisted? Crisp and crunchy, or soft? Salted, unsalted, mustard flavored, perhaps? Surely, there’s no shortage of types of pretzels.

Pretzels are among the most popular snack foods. Americans consume over 300 million pounds of pretzels every year. We eat them at parties, while enjoying sports and special events, as a nighttime snack, or just because we have a hankering for a pretzel or two. So, doesn't it make sense to celebrate National Pretzel Day with this crunchy snack!?

COMING UP

COMING UP IN MAY

May is a warm and fantastic month. Each day brings longer days and warmer weather as we get closer and closer to summer. On the first Saturday of this month, the Kentucky Derby’s Run for the Roses is held. Then in the middle of the month, we celebrate mom on Mother’s Day. At the end of the month on Memorial Day , we honor and remember those in the military who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and way of life.

Certainly, there is no shortage of May National Holidays and international days, along with plenty of odd and strange holidays to celebrate and enjoy. Fill your May calendar with these fun and quirky days.

April showers bring May flowers. And they're oh, so beautiful and fragrant.
Shorts, sandals and flip flops come out of the closet.
The sun overhead is intense. Slather on the suntan lotion.
Flower and vegetable gardens are calling you on Garden Meditation Day. Think about it.
Never Forget. Honor fallen military personnel. Remember loved ones who have passed.
May National holidays and international holidays abound.
