March is about to get a whole lot wackier, folks! As we look ahead to the peculiar lineup of quirky holidays, we can’t help but chuckle at the delicious and bizarre celebrations coming our way. Whether you’re a fan of indulging in treats or simply love the idea of creating your own reason to party, this month’s oddball holidays have you covered. So, grab your calendar and let’s dive into the amusing festivities that March has in store for us!
Chocolate Covered Raisins Day: March 24th
Unbeknownst to many, March 24th is the day we celebrate our favourite chewy, chocolatey snack—chocolate covered raisins! Whether you openly adore them or secretly sneak them behind closed doors, this delightful treat deserves its day in the spotlight. Why not use this date to host a blind taste test with friends? Line up different brands and see if anyone can pinpoint the pinnacle of perfection. And for those who insist they dislike raisins, here’s a chance to change their overtly staunch perspective—by drowning it in cocoa, of course!
Waffle Day: March 25th
March 25th marks International Waffle Day—a feast for the batter-inclined among us. From Belgium to your breakfast nook, waffles have been turning grumpy mornings into bliss for centuries. Perhaps it’s time to break free from the syrup-shackled waffle we all know. How about experimenting with toppings? Go wild with spicy fried chicken or even a dollop of ice cream—because why should waffles be confined to the morning meal? It’s a sure-fire way to turn breakfast into an all-day affair.
Make Up Your Own Holiday Day: March 26th
On March 26th, the cosmos grants us the rare licence for creativity with Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. It’s your chance to craft a festivity that mirrors your wildest dreams. Always wanted a ‘Pyjama Office Day’? Or perhaps ‘International Day of Fluffy Cats’ is more your speed? Go ahead, rally your comrades, and christen your brainchild. Remember, anything goes, provided you can convince others to hop aboard the celebration train.
Something on a Stick Day: March 28th
Prepare your palates for March 28th, when we honour the simple yet versatile skewer on Something on a Stick Day. Embrace the bacchanalia of food physics—balance, coat, and cook anything your heart desires on those wooden wonders. Is there anyone who can resist a corn dog or a kebab? Test the spectrum by trying fruits, cakes, and even different types of cheese on a stick. The possibilities are limitless and hilariously delicious.
World Piano Day: March 29th
March 29th advances a cacophony of harmonious chaos with World Piano Day. Designed to celebrate the melodic marvel of the 88 keys, every piano aficionado is encouraged to get their Beethoven (or Elton) on. So, polish those keys and serenade your neighbours—willingly or otherwise! Host a living room concert or have a mini piano-off with your mates. As long as it hits the right note, you're doing it right.
Take a Walk in the Park Day: March 30th
The concluding oddity, March 30th, invites us to slow down and reconnect with nature on Take a Walk in the Park Day. Breathe in the fresh air, take in the sights, and maybe even pack a picnic for good measure. Channel your inner Wordsworth and wax poetic about the blooming spring flora. It’s the perfect antidote to screen fatigue and an excellent excuse to converse with the local squirrels.
Each of these quirky celebrations offers not just oddball fun, but a sprinkle of joy in everyday life. Whether you indulge in sweet, melodic, or simply hilarious pastimes, the end of March is guaranteed to offer a profound appreciation for whimsy and a renewed enthusiasm for peculiar celebrations. So, mark these eccentric holidays in your calendar and get ready to embrace the delightful weirdness with open arms!
