Inside: A list of fun holidays in March with some fun ideas for celebrating.
I’m so excited that it’s March. Not only are there some fun holidays in March that we want to celebrate, but it also means the start of spring.
Each day in March has a fun holiday (national day) that you can celebrate. March is also the official start of spring with the spring equinox.
Spring Equinox
The Spring equinox is when the sun crosses the equator line, heading north in the sky. After the spring equinox, days start getting longer and warmer leading to summer.

The date of the equinox changes each year so to find out when the official start of spring happens this year just do a quick google search for “spring equinox current year“
Ok I know you didn’t come to read about the spring equinox but it is a fun holiday you might want to add to your calendar.
Now lets get to the other fun (and wacky) holidays to celebrate this month.
