National Water Balloon Day is held on the first Friday of every August. This year, it falls on . It is dedicated to celebrating the jiggly water-filled balloons that can make a dull, hot summer’s day memorable and enjoyable. Coming in the peak of summertime, it is a day to immerse yourself in the damp fun and the sensational thrills of a splashy melee with your loved ones.
Hooray for Kids Day
Kids and their unique perspectives of life are the center focus on Hooray for Kids Day, held annually on August 4. The founders of this day, who remain unknown, likely wanted everyone — adults included — to share in the joy, innocence, and love children bring into the world. They’re unafraid, don’t know how to hate, find joy in the little things, and display curiosity that can rival a cat’s — which is why this day encourages everyone to say a loud ‘hurray!’ for every kid in your life and the world.
Cook Islands Constitution Day
Cook Islands Constitution Day is August 4. On this day, Cook Islanders celebrate their independence from European colonial rule. Constitution Day is the final and most anticipated part of ‘Te Maeva Nui,’ a week-long national event highlighting Cook Islands culture, history, and heritage. The Ministry of Cultural Development coordinates events, including concerts, traditional reed dances, float parades, choir performances, cookouts, and communal sports games. Many Cook Islanders who live in Australia and New Zealand travel back to their country to partake in the festivities.
