This holiday is always held on August 23
Ride the Wind Day is a carefree day to soar above the earth. You can catch a ride with the breeze, or float along slowly like a gentle, late summer cloud.
Summer will soon be over. Catching the drift of this day is easy. Just relax, and let the wind carry you away in whatever direction it is blowing. Leave your troubles and worries behind for a spell, as you waft in the air.
Here are some great ways to enjoy Ride the Wind Day :
- Fly in an airplane
- Fly a kite
- Parachute
- Hang glide
- Take a motorcycle ride
- Hope in a sailboat, and go for a ride
- Just kick back and enjoy one of the last days of summer

World Daffodil Day – date varies
Today is World Daffodil Day. Daffodil Days are held on a wide range of dates at the world, national, and local level. There is definitely no consensus on a common date. And that’s okay, as the goals are the same. Whether you are commemorating World Daffodil Day today, or any other Daffodil Day in any country or locality, the goals are critical and vital. Daffodil Days are held to raise the awareness of cancer and how to avoid it. Other goals of World Daffodil Day, are to raise funds for cancer research, raise public education and awareness, and to help those affected by this deadly and devastating disease.
Why are Daffodils a symbol in the fight against cancer? Daffodils are a worldwide symbol of life.
In some way and at some time, cancer touches everyone in the entire world. Chances are you or someone you love will have cancer at sometime in their lives. We all certainly know many people who have or had cancer. All over the globe, there are cancer societies and groups organized to help in the fight against cancer, and to find a cure. We strongly encourage you to become active in the fight against cancer. At the very least, make a contribution… give what you can.
