Melon Day is a special holiday celebrated in Turkmenistan every second Sunday in August to honor melons, especially the sweet, juicy Turkmenbashi melon. On this day, people come together to enjoy delicious melons, have fun with family and friends, and take part in activities like music, dancing, and games. There are often contests to see who grows the biggest and tastiest melon. It's a happy time where everyone enjoys the fruit that is an important part of their culture and farming. It's a way to celebrate and appreciate the hardworking farmers and the tasty fruits they grow.
How to celebrate Melon Day?
Start by picking your favorite kinds of melons-watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew. Gather your family and friends for a fun picnic in the park. Slice up the melons and enjoy eating them together. You can also make a fruit salad by mixing different melon pieces. Play some games like melon rolling races or water balloon toss. Create cool melon smoothies or popsicles to beat the summer heat. Decorate your picnic spot with melon-themed items like paper plates, napkins, or a melon-shaped cake. Take lots of pictures and share your melon adventures.
