Pi Day (March 14)
If you are a math enthusiast, this is the day for you. Celebrated on 3/14 (the American format of the date), it’s the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for this irrational number. Don’t forget to eat a piece of pie (or ‘pie’ in English, a play on words)!

Towel Day (May 25)

On this day you are encouraged to go outside and blow bubbles. It’s the perfect day to unleash your inner child and enjoy the simple joy of blowing soap bubbles.
