It’s April 15 and you might think it’s Tax Day, but it’s not -- Tax Day can never be on a Sunday, But it’s not on Monday, April 16, either,
because of DC's holiday, Emancipation Day (more about that
here: https://emancipation.dc.gov/) So
Tax Day has been bumped over to Tuesday, April 17, giving everyone two more
days to sweat over forms and filings. Not sure that’s really a cause for celebration….but
the rest of the week brings us some special days that qualify:
On Wednesday, April 18 it’s International Juggler’s Day!
What do you do on this day? Juggle, if you can! And if you
can’t, well, you can always watch someone who can:
On Thursday, April 19 it’s National Garlic Day:
This is an easy one to celebrate – here are some ideas:
But keep those breath mints handy for afterwards!
Then on Friday it’s 4-20 – that is, the infamous pot smoking
holiday. It’s not actually taking place ALL day, just at 4:20 PM on 4-20.

On the third Saturday in April every year it’s Record Store
Day – which you can celebrate by visiting any of several DC area record stores
recommended here:
And now we’re back around to Sunday, and it’s a big one – that
beautiful blue planet special -- EARTH DAY!
You can find Earth Day festivities and park clean-ups here:
Note that many of the events take place a day early, on Saturday,
April 21 instead of on the actual Earth Day, which is April 22.
If you’re up for a day trip on Sunday, take a look at these
activities in Annapolis:
Hoping you find something to enjoy every day of the week!
