National Cherry Tart Day It is thought that the origins of Cherry Tart Day date back to the annual National Cherry Festival held in Michigan, USA. Cherries were plentiful in supply but their uses were limited. Although cherries are grown on several continents, they have a relatively short growing season. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cherry-tart-day/Go Skateboarding Day Join in part of a global event and go skateboarding with your friends find events near you, or organise own Go Skateboarding Day fun! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/go-skateboarding-day/
