During the month of April, flowers start to bloom, the sun peeks out, and whoopee cushions begin to appear on the chairs of unsuspecting family members and friends.

Spring is officially in full swing, and this month starts off with April Fool’s Day, which provides ample opportunity to tell jokes and pull pranks to the best of your ability.

Get outside and enjoy the warmer temperatures with outdoorsy holidays like National Walking Day, National Gardening Day, Go Fly a Kite Day, National Exercise Day, and National Picnic Day.

April is especially known for its spring showers, so it’s no coincidence that National Find a Rainbow Day falls during the year’s most rainy month.

If you’d rather stay warm and dry, April also has multiple homey holidays to keep you entertained indoors. Stay warm and cozy on National Self Care Day, National Pajama Day, and National Tea Day, or tackle some crafts and spring cleaning projects on National DIY Day, National Handmade Day, National Laundry Day, and National Get Organized Day.

Bakers, preheat your ovens: April also contains a multitude of delicious dessert holidays, including National Sourdough Bread Day, National Coffee Cake Day, National Peach Cobbler Day, National Zucchini Bread Day, and National Blueberry Pie Day, to name a few. (For those less skilled in the kitchen, National Hostess Twinkie Day offers a convenient store-bought alternative.)

Add these holidays to your calendar for a fun, fabulous April.
