June 29
International Mud Day
Once it rains, mud is everywhere and literally gets into everything. There are certainly no benefits that this slippery, sticky filth has to offer, are there? Poorly! And the creators of International Mud Day want to prove it.
International Mud Day, celebrated on June 29th, highlights the importance of mud for nature and human health. Established in 2009 through the collaboration of Gillian McAuliffe from Australia and Bishnu Bhatta from Nepal, mud helps build immunity and provides minerals, explaining its use in spas. Celebrations include mud sculpting, games, and educational activities. This day connects people across ages, races, and religions, promoting contact with nature and a healthy lifestyle.
