6 National Days to Celebrate on April 24, 2026

National Pigs-in-a-blanket Day

National Arbor Day

Trees afford us many pleasures. In the spring, their buds let us know warmer weather is on the way. Their summer leaves provide ample shade on a hot day. Have you ever joyfully jumped into a pile of crisp colorful leaves in the fall? And in the winter, tree branches offer shelter to wildlife for our viewing pleasure. Each year in April, National Arbor Day encourages us to celebrate and plant trees. The observance takes place each year on the last Friday in April.

National Hairball Awareness Day

Cat lovers have all been there. That onerous sound their cat makes when a hairball is on the rise. On the last Friday in April, National Hairball Awareness Day draws attention to a problem many cat lovers face.

National Neck Care Day

April 24 is National Neck Care Day, so there’s no better time to discuss the importance of caring for your neck as part of your daily skincare routine! Our goal is to empower people with all skin types to stop neglecting the neck and decolletage area and prevent common signs of aging that can appear.

National Historic Marker Day

Historic markers all across the nation provide a glimpse into the past and preserve history for future generations. On the last Friday in April each year, National Historic Marker Day invites volunteers and communities to come together to maintain their markers. Unfortunately, weather and time take their toll on these small monuments to history. By working together, we not only ensure these markers tell the stories to future generations, but we also take the opportunity to celebrate the history and culture they preserve.
