National Bugs Bunny Day is celebrated every year on April 30. It commemorates the date this happy-go-lucky bunny made his first appearance in 1938. We are getting ready to enjoy the day in the most fun way possible — by binge-watching “Looney Tunes” throughout the day, eating carrots like Bugs Bunny, and spreading the fun all over social media! Did you know, Bugs Bunny’s first appearance wasn’t on TV or any cartoon channels, but on a short film?
National Bubble Tea Day
National Bubble Tea Day on April 30 has only been celebrated a short time, but we are bubbling over with enthusiasm just thinking about celebrating the quirky beverage. Bubble tea aficionados cannot get enough of the creamy sweet tea drink garnished with tapioca balls that look like pearly bubbles floating on top. The addition of National Bubble Tea Day to the calendar gives credence to both the drink that originated in Taiwan and its trendy pop culture following.
National Arbor Day
Broadleaf. Evergreen. Conifer. How well do you really know your trees? Now you have a goal for National Arbor Day.
America’s first Arbor Day took place toward the start of the 1870s — right around the time Congress established Yellowstone National Park. Celebrate nothing less than humanity’s endearment toward nature on April 25, just after Earth Day.
Note: National Arbor Day always falls on the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates throughout the year based on their best tree planting times. That varies widely. For example:
Florida — Third Friday in January
Alaska — Third Monday in May
Hawaii — First Friday in November
