June 28 Holidays

National Insurance Awareness Day was created to encourage people to review their coverage — homeowner’s, auto, health, and life — and to make sure their policies reflect their current circumstances. National Tapioca Day celebrates the starchy pearls extracted from the cassava root — a staple of Brazilian, Thai, and Taiwanese cooking whose popularity exploded globally when bubble tea turned tapioca into a beverage. Log Cabin Day was established in Michigan in 1986 to celebrate the hand-hewn log cabin as a symbol of American frontier history and the ingenuity of early settlers who built shelter from raw timber. Constitution Day (Ukraine) marks June 28, 1996, when Ukraine adopted its constitution as an independent state — a foundational document that has been contested and amended through the country’s turbulent post-Soviet history. A policy renewal, a cassava pearl, a hand-hewn beam, and a constitutional moment.
