Monkey Around Day
June 14, Saturday
Purpose of the holiday
The holiday aims to encourage playfulness, humor, and relaxation. It is a day when you can officially give yourself permission to be silly and have fun pranks without guilt.
How to celebrate Monkey Around Day
* Organize a game session with friends, kids, or coworkers — for example, paintball, laser tag, board games, or park quests.
* Create a monkey costume or just wear fun clothes.
* Watch comedies, cartoons, or movies about monkeys, such as "Curious George."
* Decorate the space with bananas or monkey toys.
* Treat yourself — have a banana tasting: milkshakes, banana bread, or just fresh fruit.
* Allow yourself to imagine, fool around, play — the main thing is to have fun and be harmless.
Difference from other "monkey" holidays
Do not confuse it with Monkey Day, celebrated on December 14, which is dedicated to real monkeys, nature conservation, biodiversity, and scientific research. Monkey Around Day is primarily an excuse for fun idleness, unrelated to ecology or zoology.
