National Pumpkin Day is celebrated on October 26 every year in the USA, to recognize the importance of pumpkins for Thanksgiving meals.
The motive behind celebrating the day is to show gratitude to the pumpkin cultivators which is an integral part of American culture.
No record of the first celebration place or the day is available.
There is no evidence of who first started the day.
The history, founder as well as origin of National Pumpkin Day are not known, but the pumpkins have a long tradition. The month of October is both the harbinger of Halloween and the harvest period of the pumpkins. The harvest period indicates the arrival of autumn and the pumpkins are cultivated during this time. It is believed that National Pumpkin Day is celebrated in October for the stated reason.
The first phase to celebrate National Pumpkin Day is simple- escape from home and have yourself a bunch of pumpkins. You can go to your favorite restaurant or grocery store and order a big slice of pumpkin pie. If you do not want to have a pie, pumpkin spice lattes are hits among the people and available at local coffee shops. The day is incomplete without the pie as well as the latte. You can try to make various recipes with the different parts of the pumpkins and share them online using the hashtag #NationalPumpkinDay.
If you feel really creative you can buy a whole lot of pumpkins, bake them, and make an all-pumpkin meal such as pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cake along with a warm pumpkin spice latte and enjoy them with family and friends. Besides this, you can choose a pumpkin and carve to make a Jack-O’-Lantern, and paint pumpkins in different colors.
The pumpkins can be used for decorating Halloween at home and the workplace. In addition to these, you could also participate in pumpkin chucking competitions in the locality, watch some scary movies featuring pumpkins as the films’ main part, and finally, spread about the best characteristics of pumpkins on your social media using #NationalPumpkinDay on the posts.
Furthermore, you can also visit a pumpkin patch, where different activities are organized for the whole family, and also to support the local businesses.
You can also bake the seeds of the pumpkins, read the history of the pumpkin, and know about different facts about the crop. People can also wear pumpkin-themed outfits to celebrate the day.
