National Hoagie Day on May 5 offers us a welcome alternative to the seemingly endless baskets of chips and salsa and mugs of cheap Mexican beer Americans consume to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Today you can confidently say “no” to tacos and burritos, and take your buns to the local deli for a hoagie. Or a sub. Or a grinder. Or a hero. Because a hoagie is a hoagie by any other name, especially on National Hoagie Day.
Liberation Day (Bevrijdingsdag)
Liberation Day, known in Dutch as ‘Bevrijdingsdag’, is on May 5 and we are getting ready to celebrate peace and security! Marking the end of the Nazi occupation after the Second World War, Liberation Day is celebrated with much fanfare with events, veterans parades, and music festivals throughout the Netherlands.
National BBQ Day
National BBQ Day is celebrated every May 16 to serve as a reminder of the delicious food that Americans have access to. Go to a restaurant or have a grill in your own backyard. Just make sure you celebrate the day with great fervor!
