How to celebrate Jul 14th

Start your day with a touch of adventure by learning more about a shared theme of these holidays. Visit a local zoo or wildlife sanctuary to honor World Chimpanzee Day. Engage in some primate observation, snap some photos, and gain a deeper appreciation for our closest relatives.

After your chimpanzee escapade, channel your inner activist in honor of Emmeline Pankhurst Day. Research local women’s rights organizations and find out how you can get involved. Attend a meeting, volunteer, or simply educate yourself on important gender equality issues.

Next, get crafty to celebrate National Tape Measure Day. Head to a dollar store for supplies and create fun DIY projects requiring precise measurements. Whether it’s upcycling old clothes or decorating your space, embrace your inner handyman (or woman).

For lunch, indulge in the ultimate comfort food on National Mac & Cheese Day. Whip up a simple mac and cheese recipe at home or treat yourself to a bowl at a nearby diner. Don’t forget to sprinkle some extra cheese on top for good measure!

In the afternoon, commemorate Bastille Day by taking a French-themed cooking class. Learn to make a classic dish like croissants or ratatouille, and savor the flavors of France in your own kitchen.

As the day winds down, educate yourself about marine life for Shark Awareness Day. Watch a documentary, read up on shark conservation efforts, or visit a local aquarium to marvel at these fascinating creatures.

Cap off your day by mixing up a cocktail featuring Grand Marnier in honor of National Grand Marnier Day. Experiment with recipes, raise a glass to the day’s eclectic celebrations, and perhaps even toast to the unpredictability of weird national holidays. Cheers!
