May
Victory in Europe Day, or VE Day, is celebrated on May 8th each year. It marks the day in 1945 when World War II ended in Europe. On this day, people remember how the Allied forces, which included countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, defeated the Nazi Germany army. VE Day is a day of joy and relief because it means peace returned to Europe after a long and hard war. People celebrate by having parties, parades, and sometimes wearing clothes from that time to remember the happiness of peace coming back.
How to celebrate Victory in Europe Day?
Start the day by joining a local parade or event in your town. Wave flags and wear clothes in red, white, and blue colors. Take part in a moment of silence to remember those who fought for peace. Sing victory songs with your family or friends. Make fun crafts, like paper flags or cards, to give to others. Watch a movie or read stories about the day. Enjoy baking together, perhaps making a cake with colorful frosting. End the day with fireworks or sparklers if allowed, celebrating with happy hearts and big smiles for a bright, peaceful future.
