It's popular to take these observances and turn them into theme parties.
The First thing I want to do is remind our readers:
When we say "Weird Holiday" we are referring to "Unofficial Holidays". We talk about them HERE in one of our other articles. These are holidays that are not traditionally marked on calendars. These holidays are celebrated by various groups and individuals. Some promote a cause, others recognize historical events not officially recognized, and others are "funny" holidays celebrated with humorous intent.
For Example:
National Insect Week is a week long celebration in the UK where all ages are encouraged to learn more about insects. Now this is a serious event that's usually held the last week of June. Now that doesn't sound like much fun but when you think of it in party terms it can be fantastic! Insect Week is a good excuse for a costume party where guests come dressed up as insects. Entertainment ends up being a bug show and tell. Yes bug lovers are invited to bring bugs to show off. It's very common for guests to bring weird bug photos too. Veryyyy Interestingggg! And.... dare I say it. But somewhere somehow somebody always has a serving tray of chocolate covered bugs to serve the guests. Now that's not the only bug holiday that turns into a party. The United States celebrate National Butterfly Day on October 3 and National Learn about Butterflies Day on March 14th.
In Conclusion:
Our website explains why weird holidays are so popular like this. Strange holidays are taking on a new popularity in today's culture and can be celebrated world wide. Most weird holidays honor some kind of wacky invention or a fun and bizarre thing to do. All of these make for some great things to talk about which in turn makes for some great theme parties. So in conclusion, weird holidays are popular because they are fun.
