31 Things To Do in May
From gardening and farmers markets to road trips and more i’m sharing 31 ways you can get the most out of May.
- Happy May Day! This fun springtime tradition is all about making a colorful handmade May Day basket, filled with candy or flowers and then you leave it on your neighbor’s porch. I absolutely love this sweet tradition.
- May is National Bike Month. Spend time on the trails, rent a bike from a metropark or head to the city and rent a bike and start exploring.
- We could all use a moment of zen, and in hour of Garden Meditation Day, take time to slow down and absorb your surroundings.
- May the Fourth Be With You! Happy Star Wars Day. Celebrate by watching your favorite Star Wars movie.
- Welcome Cinco de Mayo with a tacos and nachos served up charcuterie style.
- Setup your outdoor space. Are you stocked up on wood for bonfires? Are you chairs and table cleaned for outdoor dining?
- Happy National Tourism Day! Today is the perfect day to make a list of the places you’d like to visit.
- Add a new wreath to your front door. Pinterest is filled with plenty of ideas if you want to DIY your own.
- Happy Mother’s Day to all the mama’s out there—I see you dog mama’s. From brunch, to treks in the woods, however you celebrate I hope you have a fabulous day.
- Trees and gardens are bursting with blooms. Get outside and take a walk around time and enjoy all the beauty spring has to offer.
- Head out for a hike. You know this is my favorite. Not only do I love discovering new (to me) trails, but I also love my tried and true ones.
- Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers to brighten your day. Peonies are starting to pop up in stores.
- The weather is getting nicer, and we’re all spending time outdoors—are you stocked up on sunscreen and bug spray?
- Grilling season is finally here. Whether you’re cooking veggie kabobs and pineapple or more traditional burgers and brats put your grill to work while the weather is nice.
- Head to the zoo. If you haven’t heard the Detroit Zoo has a baby polar bear that is the cutest thing ever and definitely worth the trip.
