St. Stupid Day is annually observed on April 1 in San Francisco, California, United States. San Francisco is a Californian city renowned for its wonderful vacations that can satisfy even the most discerning visitors. On this day, those who wish to attend the famous Fool’s Day Parade in San Francisco can do so, where they can show off their unique ridiculous costumes and have fun with other fools during the silliest walk of all. The public is encouraged to get into the spirit of things, that is, to act like fools in the street or while wearing exquisite colonial garb. Be as naive as possible on the day that honours foolishness.
The background of St. Stupid Day
Ed Holmes, a member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe and Bishop Joey of the First Church of the Last Laughter, founded St. Stupid Day in 1979. It was founded on the notion that folly is one of the defining characteristics of society. According to the First Church of the Last Laughter, stupidity is the only thing that unites species despite their differences in hue, religion, nationality, zip code, and preferred beverage.
St. Dumb Day revolves around the St. Dumb Day Parade. It is a rare opportunity to behave completely irrationally for a short time. You are encouraged to wear ridiculous clothing and yell idiotic slogans without fear of being condemned or arrested for hooliganism.
The parade begins at noon and proceeds through San Francisco’s financial district, the city’s business district. St. Stupid’s Day Parade is typically accompanied by drums, horn performers, and chants.
This entertaining event features the absurd game of losing lottery tickets at the Federal Reserve headquarters, tossing coins at the Banker’s Heart sculpture as a tribute to the city’s trade sanctuaries, and trading socks at the Pacific Stock Exchange. In addition, there is a “leap of faith” in which parade participants close their eyes, plunge, and have faith that the Earth will still exist when they land. Initially, only a handful of individuals participated in the parade, but now there are thousands.
