National Pizza Day in Brazil is celebrated on July 10 every year. Sao Paulo is Brazil’s pizza capital because a section of its population is of Italian descent. The ‘oriundi,’ or Italian descendants, in Brazil number around 25 million, and an estimated 10 million live in Sao Paulo. Nearly 25 million pizzas are eaten every month in Sao Paulo. On National Pizza Day in Brazil, pizzerias hold events and restaurants offer discounts. Tourists get the opportunity to taste rare pizzas, including some made with ice cream, chocolate truffles, and even fruit.
Palau Constitution Day
Palau Constitution Day is observed annually on July 9. On this day, most public events occur in the capital of Ngerulmud and the city of Koror, with citizens taking the day off from work to spend time with their loved ones. The national holiday celebrates Palau culture and history, marking its journey to independence from the U.S. through popular referendums. In 1981, Palau opted not to join the rest of Micronesia and adopted its own constitution, which is modeled after the American constitution, outlining its relationship with the U.S. through free association.
National Don’t Put all your Eggs in One Omelet Day
National Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Omelet Day falls every year on July 9. The holiday’s name is a play on “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” an idiom that warns people against concentrating all their efforts or putting all their hopes into one venture because they could lose it all. The analogy applies to omelets as well. Have you ever gotten so hungry that you crack too many eggs into the pan, and end up with a sloppy mishmash of an omelet? It’s irritating, messy, and wasteful. This special holiday hopes to discourage that.
