St. Stupid Day is an annual holiday celebrating human stupidity. There is nothing wrong with appearing to be a stupid person. Each of us has a right to make a mistake, so we shouldn’t pay too much attention to it. The holiday is celebrated in San Francisco on April 1.
History
The creation of St. Stupid Day took place in 1979. The proposal was made by a bishop from the First Church of the Last Laughter, who was also a member of the pantomime troupe. His name was Ed Holmes. He promoted the idea that stupidity is a unifying feature of all people. It makes absolutely no difference what religion, race, sex, or age they are. Every person on earth has at least once seemed stupid, done stupid things. It is absolutely normal and there is no need to be ashamed of it!
The festival is a festival held in San Francisco. It begins at noon. At this time, many participants gather, dressing in silly or funny clothes, shouting silly phrases, etc. The main purpose of this festival is to allow people to appear silly without fear of social condemnation! Participants, accompanied by drum beats and musical sounds from other instruments, march through all the neighborhoods of the city. This fun and memorable event attracts tourists from all over the world!
