cherry blossom festival japan

April is a month brimming with cultural richness and vibrant traditions from around the world. As we step into this period, let's explore some of the most unique and cherished celebrations this month.

1. April Fools' Day🤡

April kicks off with a playful bang on April 1st with April Fools' Day. This global tradition is all about embracing light-hearted pranks and jests among friends and family. With its origins shrouded in mystery, April Fools' Day has evolved into a cherished occasion for mischief and merriment.


2. Songkran - Thailand's Water Festival 🌊

In Thailand, Songkran marks the Thai New Year, celebrated from April 13th to 15th. This festival is often regarded as the world's largest water fight. Songkran transforms the streets into a water-soaked playground, where locals and tourists alike engage in water fights to wash away the past year's troubles and usher in blessings for the year ahead.

3. Walpurgis Night - Europe's Night of Fire 🔥

Europe comes alive with the fiery festivities of Walpurgis Night on April 30th. Rooted in folklore and pagan tradition, this enchanting celebration sees bonfires ablaze and communities gathering to ward off evil spirits and welcome the arrival of spring with warmth and light.

Walpurgis Night is named after Saint Walpurga, an 8th-century abbess known for her healing powers, who was canonised on the 1st of May c. 870.


4. King's Day (Koningsdag) - Netherlands 🧡

In the Netherlands, April 27th marks the vibrant celebration of King's Day. Decked in hues of orange, the nation comes together for a jubilant extravaganza featuring bustling street markets, lively concerts and joyful festivities.

The tradition of celebrating the monarch's birthday with a public holiday dates back to the late 19th century. It was initially celebrated on August 31st, the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina, but changed to April 30th after the accession of Queen Juliana.

5. Cherry Blossom Festivals - Japan 🌸

April in Japan unfolds in a spectacle of delicate pink blossoms as cherry blossom season blankets the nation. Hanami, or flower viewing, brings communities together for picnics beneath blooming cherry trees, where they marvel at nature's transient beauty and reflect on the fleeting nature of life.

Cherry blossoms, known as "sakura" in Japanese, have been celebrated in Japan for centuries. The practice of Hanami dates back to the Nara Period (710-794), when aristocrats held cherry blossom viewing parties under the trees.

As April unfurls its myriad of traditions, let's embrace the cultural diversity and shared moments of joy that unite us across borders. Which tradition are you going to join in?


Have a great April!

Wish we had found these a long time ago

We have been. using bed pads for years, but these are far better quality. We now have 2 and took the advice from the website, of popping them on top of the normal bed sheet and not underneath - saves extra washing of bed sheets on many a day.

Thank you for your fantastic review of PeapodMats, Julie! We really appreciate it.
