Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.
You observe the distinctive Niue Island reef heron and Pacific golden plover that inhabit this isolated South Pacific nation. You notice that Niueans primarily keep chickens, pigs, and dogs as practical domesticated animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
This is a real holiday created by a Pennsylvania gardener who had too much zucchini. The tradition is simple: grow zucchini, harvest zucchini, realize you have 40 pounds of zucchini, and then leave bags of it on your neighbors' porches in the dead of night. Every gardener in America understands this. Zucchini is the plant that keeps giving. And giving. And giving. You cannot give it away fast enough. By August, everyone in a ten-mile radius of a zucchini grower has locked their car doors to prevent someone from leaving zucchini on the passenger seat.
