A very delicious holiday is held on the first Sunday of May—Lemonade Day. Lemonade is prepared on this day in many homes across America. The purpose of the holiday is not only to enjoy a delicious drink but also to teach children how to earn money.
History
The festival was first held in 2007. Lisa, the daughter of American Michael Holthouse, asked to buy a turtle. Since there were already many animals at home, her father refused. Lisa decided to sell lemonade to earn money for her new pet.
Michael supported his daughter’s initiative by proposing the creation of National Lemonade Day, giving children the opportunity to earn money. According to Michael, this would help teach children financial literacy, responsibility, and independence. On the first Sunday of May, children sell homemade lemonade on the streets, and passersby are happy to buy it.
