7 “Offbeat Holidays” You Can Celebrate in July
There are many fun and offbeat holidays to celebrate in July. Here
are 7 you may want to consider celebrating this month:
1. July 2 – World UFO Day. According to the World UFO Day
website, celebration of unidentified flying objects officially began in
2001. July 2 nd commemorates the supposed UFO crash in the 1947
Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident. The stated goal of the July 2
celebration is to raise awareness of the “undoubted existence of
UFOs” and to encourage governments to declassify their files in UFO
sightings. (How will you celebrate? )
2. July 6 – International Kissing Day! Get ready to pucker up!
This holiday, originally known as National Kissing Day in the United
Kingdom, is now an international holiday that helps us remember
the simple pleasure a kiss can bring.
3. July 10 – Teddy Bear Picnic Day. In the early 20 th century, a
guy named John Walter Bratton composed a song titled The Teddy
Bears’ Picnic. In the 1980s the day became a holiday and remains
popular throughout Europe, Australia, and among many stuffed
bear circles around the world.
4. July 19 – National Flitch Day. A “flitch” is a measurement of
bacon, today known as a slab. Back in the 15 th century an English
custom was to award married couples a flitch if they had been
loving and faithful to each other for a year, and wanted to stay
married. Today the flitch ceremony takes place every four years,
and is still “all about the bacon.”
5. July 28 – Talk in an Elevator Day. Most people don’t chat
much when standing in an elevator, but on this day you’re
encouraged to do so. Go ahead and ride an elevator and chat it
up. It’s on the last Friday of July each year.
