Mark Your Calendar With These Unique Holidays Happening in April
It's hard to believe that April is already around the corner. Whether you're mapping out your calendar around a family vacation, looking for the best weekend for a spring girls' trip, or you're simply curious about the unique national days in April, our list of April 2023 holidays and observances is here to help you out.
The month kicks off with April Fools' Day, so prepare your harmless pranks ahead of time, or brush up on some April Fools' jokes to get everyone laughing — but not anyone's expense. Easter Sunday this year falls on April 9, and here's hoping for a sunny day of celebration — whether your Easter traditions include attending church, enjoying Easter brunch, or hosting an Easter egg hunt. In case those pesky April showers make an appearance, though, you might want to bookmark these Easter crafts for kids of all ages and these family-friendly Easter movies.
The week-long Jewish holiday Passover begins on April 5 at sundown, and we've got Passover recipes to please everyone at your seder, from vegetarians to those with a sweet tooth. Earth Day on April 22 provides a great opportunity to educate the younger generation about climate change, as well as getting crafty with recycled materials and making creative Earth Day crafts for kids.
When it comes to monthly observances in April, it's Move More Month, National Stress Awareness Month, National Garden Month, and National Kite Month — so be sure to get outside as much as you can. April is also National Volunteer Month and Celebrate Diversity Month.
