National Hammock Day
July 22 is National Hammock Day in the US. Find two trees, string up your hammock and do absolutely nothing.
National Hammock Day lands on July 22 every year and celebrates the hammock as the ultimate symbol of rest. There is no single official event, so parks, towns, shops and brands host their own hangs and giveaways around the date. It is a great excuse to organize a park hang with friends or try hammocking for the first time. Check local parks and your favorite hammock brands for events. All you need is a hammock, straps and a shady spot.
