When is Monkey Around Day? This holiday is always celebrated on June 14

Life is sometimes too formal and stiff, too serious. We all need a little time to cut loose, act a little goofy, and just fool around. Today is a day to “Go Ape!” Put aside your troubles and worries. Throw off the shackles of stress on everyday living. Lock up your inhibitions in a safe, or a drawer. For today is hereby declared Monkey Around Day! Seriously, this June 14 holiday is a time NOT to be taken seriously.  Let’s all go a little bananas.

We all need a day (and probably more than one) to just monkey around, doing anything that comes to mind. It can and should be a little silly. It can be inane. Or, you can do something wild, crazy, or whimsical. Do something you’ve always wanted to do, but sensibility held you back. In other words, go out and have some untamed fun! Tomorrow, you will be glad that you did.

How to Celebrate Monkey Around Day

Celebrate this special holiday, with just about any kind of monkey business. For example, you can:

  • Monkey around. I bet you can think of a number of ways to “monkey around”.
  • Act like a monkey.
  • Put a banana in one hand, and scratch your armpit with the other, as you make monkey noises. You get extra points for doing this in public.
  • Visit monkeys at the zoo.
  • Draw pictures of monkeys.
  • Buy monkey stuffed animals and other paraphernalia.
  • Hang around in trees.
  • Eat bananas.

But, whatever you do, Money Around Day is not a time to be shy, sensible, or logical.

History and Origin of Monkey Around Day

This fun day was created in 2016 by Bob Matthews, of Rochester, NY. Bob is the creator of Holiday Insights. He selected June 14th, in honor of the birthday of his daughter Kimberly. Since she was a little child, Kimberly just loved monkeys and everything about them.

According to Bob: “There is way too much stress in our everyday lives. We need at least one day to set aside our stress, troubles, and worries, and to just relax and monkey around. Today is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
