How to celebrate May 5th

Today, we have the perfect excuse to embrace music, art, exploration, and laughter! Why not spend the day with a musical backdrop, celebrating creativity and culture? Start off by enjoying a virtual concert or digging into some nostalgic cartoons. Then, tickle your funny bone with jokes and giggles – World Laughter Day is all about spreading joy. Feeling creative? Grab some paper to doodle caricatures or write a funny comic strip.

As the day progresses, expand your horizons by learning a few words in Portuguese or honoring midwives for their incredible work. Feeling outdoorsy? Give some love to your furry friends with extra cuddles or take a selfie with a shed in the background.

Need a little more excitement? Dive into the world of space exploration on National Astronaut Day or seek solace in the majesty of pipe organs. And hey, don’t forget to treat yourself to a refreshing glass of lemonade or a hearty hoagie.

Wrap up the day by addressing serious issues – raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Reflect on the importance of community and support, perhaps by planning a charity concert or event. With a medley of activities at your fingertips, today is the perfect opportunity to revel in the weird and wonderful world of unusual holidays.
