National Days/Weeks #8

Previous week's photos:
March 21 - French Bread Day
March 23 - Puppy Day

Each week on Monday I'll post two photos which represent a "national day" or "national week" for the coming week [through the following Sunday].  Your job is to figure out which national day or week is depicted in each photo.  

Here are the photos for this week.  What national day or week does each represent?  Even if you aren't 100% sure, make your best guess!  Come back next week to see if you're right.

A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal

For the last few years on the A to Z Challenge, I've posted photos and your job was to guess the letter-appropriate word represented by the photos.  Last year, I posted photos of significant events of our favorite year of all time - 2020 - and I had good response to that theme.  So this year, I'll choose significant events from 2021 and also the first three months of 2022, and post photos.  Your job, as before, is to figure out what the event is. And, to avoid spoiling the answer for the next blog visitor, please comment on something related to the answer without giving the answer.  For example, if the event is "mask mandates" [from last year's Challenge], your comment could say something like "I'm still wearing mine" or "I bought several dozen in different colors" without mentioning the mask at all.

Here's something to get you started.  Come back on April 1 for the answer!
