Jackfruit Day is celebrated on July 4 every year. The tropical fruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, along with being the state fruit of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, India. The fruit has spiky outer skin and is native to parts of South and South-East Asia. Today, the fruit is known as a popular meat substitute for people adhering to a plant-based diet. It is high in vitamins and antioxidants, making it a healthy addition to any diet. Jackfruits are also referred to as ‘jak,’ ‘kathal,’ and ‘chakka,’ among other names.
NATIONAL HOP-A-PARK DAY
Park visitations experience a hike on National Hop-A-Park Day, celebrated every first Saturday in July. This year, it falls on . On this day, thousands of people visit their community or favorite parks to relax, have fun, and get a better view of the beauties of nature packed up there. It is a day that big parks organize special sporting or leisure events for visitors and encourage those who don’t go to parks to start. With the holiday celebration, there isn’t a better day park executives and visitors relish more. Central Park comes to mind, but cities are spending time and money to create or upgrade their parks.
International Drop a Rock Day
On International Drop A Rock Day, celebrated on July 3 each year, rock art is channeled toward inspiring and showing kindness to others. This is an unofficial holiday that many would have preferred to be official, to have more time getting inspired and having fun with the hundreds of theme-word rocks concealed in places for others to find. Every July 3 for the last seven years, thousands of people around the world go on a rock hunt while thousands more make what is being searched for. Both makers and searchers have one thing in common — they have fun and share kindness.
