Paws, Kites, and Stairs: Wednesday's Wacky Holidays Will Have You on Your Feet

Today's lineup of under-the-radar holidays is equal parts adorable, breezy, and leg-burning.

National Dress Up Your Pet Day – Time to raid the costume bin and turn your furry friend into a fashion icon. Whether it's a pumpkin outfit or a tiny tuxedo, today is all about making your pet the star of the show (even if they give you that look).

International Kite Day – Kites have been soaring for centuries, and today's the perfect excuse to buy, build, or dig one out of the garage. Bonus points if you give it a name and send it flying.

National Take the Stairs Day – A nudge toward healthier habits! Even in the Coachella Valley where skyscrapers are scarce, you can park farther away and get those extra steps in.
