Here at Rock Hill Coca-Cola Bottling Company, we’ve enjoyed highlighting some of the big-name holidays throughout the year—New Year’s, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July just around the corner. But June is packed with a surprising number of obscure and delightful holidays you may have never heard of. So grab a cold Coke, kick back, and get ready to discover a few offbeat ways to celebrate this month.

National Cheese Day – June 4

Calling all cheese lovers! National Cheese Day is your official excuse to indulge in your favorite dairy delights. Whether you prefer a sharp cheddar, creamy brie, or a hearty gouda, this holiday is a chance to explore new flavors and pairings. Why not have a cheese-tasting night with friends? And yes, cheese pairs surprisingly well with the crisp bite of a Coca-Cola.

Best Friends Day – June 8

We celebrate our friends all year, but Best Friends Day on June 8 is a perfect reminder to reach out to that one person who’s always had your back. Whether it’s a handwritten note, a funny meme, or a surprise Coke and snack delivery, a small gesture goes a long way. Friendship, after all, makes life sweeter.

National Flip Flop Day – June 14

This lighthearted holiday was created by a tropical smoothie chain, but it’s caught on across the country. National Flip Flop Day is all about summer vibes, sandy toes, and relaxed living. If you’re wearing flip flops today, you’re doing it right. Bonus points if you’re sipping an ice-cold Coke on a sunny porch.

World Giraffe Day – June 21

Organized by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, this unique holiday brings attention to one of Africa’s most iconic but endangered animals. It’s a great chance to teach kids about wildlife or support conservation efforts. And honestly—who doesn’t love giraffes?

Please Take My Children to Work Day – June 25

Yes, it’s a real holiday—and a humorous one at that! Created by a stay-at-home mom blogger, this day is dedicated to giving full-time caregivers a little break. If you know a hardworking parent, offer to help or just share a laugh about the clever name.

So this June, don’t just count down to the big days—celebrate the quirky ones, too. Every day’s a little better with good company and a refreshing Coca-Cola in hand.
