Regional/Cultural Day
The Day After the Fourth
The street still smells like last night and there are bottle rockets in the gutter that nobody is getting to before Tuesday. You eat the leftover potato salad for breakfast standing at the kitchen counter and have zero regrets. The charcoal is still warm at nine in the morning and someone suggests finishing what is still in the fridge.
Regional/Cultural Day
Hawaii Statehood Day
In Hawaii, this is a complicated holiday. The Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by American businessmen in 1893. The islands were annexed in 1898. Statehood came in 1959. For Native Hawaiians, this day is not a celebration. It is a reminder. In Honolulu, the day is observed with ceremonies at Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Aruba Day
You explore Aruban beaches where you spot flamingos, iguanas, and sea turtles in their natural habitat. You notice that pet owners in Aruba favor dogs, cats, and parakeets as household companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Brands of United States Minor Outlying Islands Day
You acknowledge that the US Minor Outlying Islands have no significant commercial brands of their own, as these territories are largely uninhabited or military installations. You recognize instead that American brands like Coca-Cola and Campbell's reach these remote locations through US military and government supply chains.
