There aren’t many traditional holidays to celebrate in June besides Father’s Day and the first day of summer. However, there are a lot of unusual holidays to celebrate in June. In fact, there is something to celebrate just about every day. Perhaps some of these nontraditional holidays will interest you and you will celebrate them this year.
1. National Doughnut Day
National Doughnut Day is held the first Friday in June, and this year it is on June 6. This day honors the Salvation Army “Lassies” of WWI who served home cooked food to the American troops. It is also a day of fundraising for the Salvation Army. To celebrate this day, doughnut shops often give away free doughnuts and ask for donations for the Salvation Army. If you like doughnuts, this will be one of your favorite holidays to celebrate in June.
2. Best Friend’s Day
Best Friend’s Day is celebrated every June 8. As the name suggests, it is a day to celebrate your best friend. Considering that your best friend is always there for you, you may want to celebrate this day. You could get together with your best friend and do some of your favorite activities. If you really want to go all out, you could give him or her a card or even a gift.

6. Forgiveness Day
June 26 is National Forgiveness Day, and Global Forgiveness Day is celebrated two months later on August 27. This holiday began in 1994 and was created by the Christian Embassy for Christ’s Ambassadors. While it was created by a Christian group, forgiveness can, and should, be celebrated by people of all beliefs. Forgiveness is so important. Holding on to anger only hurts you.

By June 27, Sunglasses Day, the sky can be pretty bright and sunny. So, wearing a pair of cool sunglasses on this day is a great way to celebrate. Of course, you can also look at it as an excuse to buy a new pair of sunglasses. Who doesn’t love new sunglasses?
