When is Walk on Your Wild Side Day? This holiday is always celebrated on April 12
Walk on Your Wild Side Day encourages us to take a chance and just go wild. As you begin this April 12 holiday, you first need to cast away your inhibitions. Bring out the inner strength within you, to do something out of your comfort zone. Throw caution to the wind, and do something wild and crazy, and perhaps a little daring.
To participate in this special day, you don’t have to do something dangerous, like hang gliding, parachuting, or riding a zip line. But, you might choose to do one of these things in the spirit of the day. But, please don’t do something dangerous or illegal. Rather, think of something that the normal and usual “you” would not do. Then, kick your shoes off and go do it……. just go wild. After you have performed this wild and crazy thing, don’t forget that you have Facebook bragging rights.
The creators of this day are unknown (see below). And, they did not clearly say why or what inspired them to create this event. Two things may have led to the inspiration for this day. In 1956 Nelson Algren published the novel A Walk on the Wild Side. And, Walk on the Wild Side was a song written and sung by Lou Reed in 1972.
