How to celebrate Jul 1st

Wake up bright and early to celebrate Early Bird Day. Start the day off with a delicious breakfast of creative ice cream flavors. Once you’re energized, head out to explore your local zoo for American Zoo Day. Don’t forget to send a postcard to your closest friend or family member in honor of National US Postage Stamp Day. As you roam around the zoo, make sure to check out the financial information about the animals – it’s National Financial Freedom Day, after all.

After spending some time at the zoo, head to a local park for National Baby-Led Weaning Day. Pack some homemade gingersnap cookies to enjoy as a snack – it’s also National Gingersnap Day. As you relax in the park, pull out your favorite book and read a joke out loud to commemorate International Joke Day. Feeling hungry? Treat yourself to some tasty chicken wings for International Chicken Wing Day.

End your day with some reggae music to celebrate International Reggae Day. Kick back and enjoy the vibes, maybe even dance a little to the music. Reflect on the beauty of life and the second half of the year, as you wind down the evening. It’s been a day full of exploration, good food, laughter, and fun – a day like no other!
