Are you someone who loves to celebrate? Whether it’s my anniversary, Cinco de Mayo or my dog’s birthday, any reason to make my day a special occasion is a win in my book. Here are some upcoming holidays that are sure to put a smile on your face.
National Beer Day – Saturday, April 7th
Lucky for us, this one is on a weekend. National Beer Day became a holiday after the Cullen-Harrison Act was enacted on April 7th, allowing people to buy, sell and drink beer with an alcohol content of 3.2%. Upon signing the legislation, Franklin Roosevelt stated, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.” We agree Mr. President, we agree.
National Pet Day – Wednesday, April 11th
Today is the day to celebrate the unconditional love of your furry companion. Some ways to celebrate the holiday include adopting a new friend from your local shelter, donating items to an animal welfare organization or even buying your pet a new toy.
National High Five Day – Thursday, April 19th
National High Five Day was started in 2002 by a group of college students in Virginia. Let your family, friends and coworkers know they’re doing a great job by passing around the high-fives. Upload a photo to social media and hashtag #NH5D to join in on the fun.

National Coffee Day – Saturday, September 29th
Every day is National Coffee Day for me, but I’m totally onboard with marking off a day on the calendar for it. This holiday allows you to drink all the cups of java you want, guilt free.
