Grave Decoration Day Season

Throughout Appalachia, especially eastern Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina, families return annually to cemeteries to clean graves, place flowers, picnic nearby, and hold family reunions. In some mountain communities, "Decoration Day" remains more important than Memorial Day itself. The AHA! moment: the cemetery is not a place of grief. It is a place of continuity. The dead are still part of the community. . 2026: Apr 5. 2027: Mar 28.

Pawpaw Festival

Albany, Ohio. Dedicated to North America's largest native fruit, which most Americans have never tasted. The pawpaw tastes like a cross between a mango and a banana, with a custardy texture. The festival features pawpaw ice cream, pawpaw beer, pawpaw jam, and a pawpaw eating contest. The AHA! moment: the pawpaw is native to 26 states, grows wild in every eastern forest, and almost nobody knows it exists. . 2026: Apr 5. 2027: Mar 28.
