Days to Celebrate in August

August on National Celebration Days is that sweaty, sunburned friend who shows up late to the summer party but insists on making the most of every last melting popsicle. This month brings you National Watermelon Day (nature’s candy and picnic MVP), National Relaxation Day (finally, a holiday that demands a nap), and National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day—a real thing, not a weird dare. Celebrate your furry overlords on International Cat Day, flex your random knowledge on National Trivia Day, and embrace peak weirdness with National Wiggle Your Toes Day. August might be the tail end of summer, but it’s determined to go out in a blaze of weird, wonderful, and gloriously unnecessary holidays.
