Oh Fudge, it’s only Tuesday! Time For Hashtag Holiday
In the latest edition of Hashtag Holiday Calendar Pop Quiz, brought to you by One Coachella Valley, Steffen ran through the notable observances landing on Tuesday, June 16th, 2026. National Fresh Veggie Day kicked things off, celebrating all things produce, followed by World Sea Turtle Day, a nod to one of the planet's most ancient creatures, which have shared the earth with dinosaurs and have been swimming our oceans for over 100 million years.
And then there was National Fudge Day, the sweetest holiday of the bunch, and the one that inspired this morning's quiz.
