April holidays and public holidays 2023: full calendar

If you’ve been dragging your heels through far too long of a winter, April is a breath of fresh air with freshly blooming flowers, warmer temperatures and happy nature.

While there are classic holidays like April Fools’ Day and Easter (well, sometimes), lesser-known holidays, celebrations, and awareness days throughout the month are also opportunities to turn over a new leaf and celebrate spring. For example, Nature Day, Find a Rainbow Day, National Dandelion Day and National Gardening Day invite you to get out and enjoy the wonderful spring days.

But if it’s only been April showers lately, there are plenty of holidays that can inspire indoor activities, too. On National Handicraft Day, make festive crafts with the children. National Self-Care Day might invite you to linger longer in the tub or pamper yourself at the spa. Or you can prepare many delicious meals, such as sourdough bread, deep dish pizza or a colorful aa bowl.

It’s also a month to connect with others if you’ve been sleeping during the winter. Think: National Greeting Card Day, National Tell a Story Day and Global Pay It Forward Day.

However you celebrate April 2023, add these dates to your calendar to live it up to the fullest.
