Daily Holidays - June 5

Donut Day Everyone loves donuts, there’s something about that delicious deep fried treat that brings a smile to everyones face. Donut day celebrates this wonderful treat, it’s history, and a special holiday brought into being to honor a special group that arised during World War I. One of the little known facts about the Donut is exactly what that well known shape is called, read on, and maybe you’ll find out! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/doughnut-day/

World Environment Day Environment Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of respecting and doing your bit for the environment. Why not walk to work rather than driving, or take steps to reduce your carbon footprint in other ways? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/environment-day/


Hot Air Balloon Day The hot air balloon is the oldest form of flight technology used for carrying humans, following the first manned flight in 1783. The balloon itself consists of an envelope, which is used to contain the hot air, and a gondola, where passengers and a means of creating hot air are typically housed. The heated air inside the envelope has a lower density than that of the cold air outside, and this causes the balloon to rise. Hot Air Balloon Day is an annual celebration that marks the impact hot air balloons have had on travel and leisure.

Although out of the reach of many, the most common means of celebrating Hot Air Balloon Day is to take a hot air balloon ride. Although not ideal for those that are afraid of heights, or flying, there are companies and hot air balloon owners that offer special deals for these celebratory flights. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/hot-air-balloon-day/
