Head to a farmer’s market, U-Pick veggie field, or even your own backyard garden and see what delicious and nutritious meals you can make with fresh veggies.

Your guide to celebrating June 16

When you wake up, head to the kitchen to whip up a fresh veggie omelette for breakfast. Get creative with your juggling skills by practicing juggling three pieces of fruit as a fun morning exercise. Indulge your sweet tooth by making a batch of homemade fudge to snack on throughout the day.

Take a break from your indoor activities and spend some time at a local beach or conservation center to admire sea turtles and learn about their conservation. Make a meaningful contribution to your community by researching and supporting organizations that assist families with remittances.

Join a book club or attend a literary event to celebrate Bloomsday, perhaps even reading a work by James Joyce. Visit a nearby waterfall or stream to appreciate the beauty of nature on International Waterfall Day. Stay hydrated by using a refillable water bottle in support of World Refill Day.

Learn about the experiences of African children and consider ways to support their education and well-being. Take a moment to appreciate the work of arborists by planting a tree or caring for existing greenery on Arborist Appreciation Day.

End your day by reflecting on the joy and connection that can be found in celebrating these offbeat holidays – and maybe plan ahead to partake in some even stranger ones in the future.
