Bizarre August Holidays
Ranked #13,887 in Holidays & Celebrations, #241,471 overall
Some extra fun in the sun each day of the month!
Humans love to celebrate things: weddings, births, promotions, the fact that you passed your driver's test. Those are all great things to celebrate, but we humans cannot stop there. We have to invent new ways to celebrate the most random things. Most holidays celebrate something religious and thus are the most popular and well-known. But some holidays are not as common and yet still give humans a chance to celebrate the things they love most: ice cream, laziness, polka and knifes.
Here is the guide to what you can celebrate each day of the month of August. Everyday is a reason to celebrate something, so have fun and let me know how you celebrate your favorite holiday!
