Today's Holiday: Drumroll Please...Absolutely Nothing!
That's right, folks. May 26th, 2024, in Pennsylvania is just a plain old, ordinary (yet fantastic) Sunday. No flags to wave, no parades to attend (unless you're into, you know, celebrating brunch), just a chance to relax, recharge, and maybe finally conquer that mountain of laundry.
Now, before you write Pennsylvania off as the state with the most boring holidays (hey, they gotta save some excitement for Juneteenth!), let's delve into the treasure trove of...well, not-so-treasured holidays that do exist here.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Pennsylvania's Not-So-Secret Holiday Stash:
- Lincoln's Birthday (February 12th): Brush up on your Gettysburg Address, because this is the day we celebrate Honest Abe's arrival on Earth. Fun fact: Apparently, Pennsylvania loves a good parade, because many cities celebrate with one on this day!
- Good Friday (Varies Each Year): For our Christian friends, this is a day of reflection and remembrance. But for the rest of us? Maybe a good time to stock up on hot cross buns?
- Flag Day (June 14th): Yup, you read that right. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that goes all out for Old Glory. Dust off those American flags and get ready to salute!
But Wait, There's More!
Of course, Pennsylvania also celebrates all the major federal holidays like Memorial Day (upcoming on May 27th!), Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. So, there's plenty of opportunity to get your festive spirit on throughout the year.
