It's a time when children convince their parents they've broken a bone. Parents get in on the planning, too. #AprilFoolsDay   NATIONAL TOM FOOLERYS DAY  April 1 is National Tom Foolerys Day on the National Day Calendar, and we are celebrating with harmless pranks, silly tricks, shenanigans, and, of course, tomfoolery. April 1 also happens to be the birthday of Tom Foolery, a character developed by Kalahari Resorts, home to America's largest indoor waterparks. This is no April Fool's joke! We are dedicating an entire day to celebrating the spirit of adventure, play, and a little bit of trickery, in all of us. #TOMFOOLERYSDAY   PASSOVER BEGINS Every year, the spring festival called Passover is celebrated for 8 days. Traditionally known as a major Jewish holiday, many Christians have also begun to take part in celebrating Passover. The date of the festival is in accordance with the first full moon in the Hebrew calendar month, Nissan. For this reason, the date changes every year. #Passover   TAKE DOWN TOBACCO NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action is a national day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco. A part of the Kick Butts campaign, the initiative not only empowers students to say no to tobacco and e-cigarettes but also gives them the tools to become a tobacco-free generation. #TakeDownTobacco   NATIONAL SOURDOUGH BREAD DAY National Sourdough Bread Day on April 1st recognizes one of the world's oldest leavened breads. #SourdoughBreadDay   NATIONAL WALKING DAY The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and it encourages Americans of all ages to get out and stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping. The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind people about the health benefits of taking a walk. Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, take a 30-minute walk. #NationalWalkingDay   NATIONAL ONE-CENT DAY What do Benjamin Franklin, the phrase "mind your business," April 1st, and National One Cent Day all have in common? The answer is the penny, which we recognize on National One Cent Day. #NationalOneCentDay   CHILDHELP NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE Childhelp National Day of Hope takes place each year during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The first Wednesday in April is set aside to ask the country to make a life-long commitment to joining the fight to end child abuse and neglect. #ChildhelpNationalDayOfHope   Coming on April 2, 2026 National Days NATIONAL BURRITO DAY PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY DAY NATIONAL RECONCILIATION DAY NATIONAL DIY DAY NATIONAL FERRET DAY   Notable Birthdays for April 1   Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911) - Illustrator known for his painting of Edward VII's coronation and the Quest of the Holy Grail mural.   Sophonisba Breckenridge (1866-1948) - The first woman to graduate from Chicago Uni Law School.   Wallace Beery (1886-1949) - Circus performer for Ringling Brothers Circus.   William James Sidis (1898-1944) - Genius said to have an IQ between 250 and 300.   Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) - Psychologist who created Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.    Harry Carney (1910-1974) - Saxophonist with the Duke Ellington Orchestra.   Joseph Murray (1919-2012) - Surgeon considered the Father of Transplantation for performing the first kidney transplant.   Grace Lee Whitney (1930-2015) - Actress remembered for her role as played Janice Rand on the original Star Trek series.   Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016) - Multi-award winning actress whose career spanned over 70 years.    Dan Flavin (1933-1996) - Sculptor famous for creating sculptural objects and using fluorescent light fixtures in them.    Mark Shulman (1962-Still Living) - Founder of the publishing company Oopf, Inc.   Memorable Events for April 1   1853 - Cincinnati becomes the first city to employ full-time professional firefighters.   1863 - The first wartime enlistment law goes into effect.   1889 - Josephine Cochran markets the first dishwasher.   1891 - The Wrigley Company is founded.   1945 - U.S. ground forces invade Okinawa.   1948 - Cosmologists Ralph Alpher, Hans Bethe, and George Gamow propose the Big Bang theory in a scientific journal.   1954 - President Eisenhower authorizes the creation of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.   1954 - The first U.S. Army helicopter battalion forms at Fort Bragg, NC.   1954 - The Air Force Academy established.   1967 - The U.S. Department of Transportation begins operation.   1970 - President Nixon signs a bill limiting cigarette advertisements.   1976 - Apple Computer, Inc. is founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.   1991 - The Supreme Court rules jurors cannot be barred from serving due to race.   2004 - Google launches Gmail.
