April 9th National Unicorn Day

Happy April 9th, National Unicorn Day! 🦄

If you're looking for a unicorn, but don't know where to start, try Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Since 1971, they've issued permits to unicorn questers.

Anyone on such a search is advised to carry a flask of cognac and a pair of pinking shears (mentalfloss.com).

This gives me hope that unicorns are real, and I hope people only live-trap them! #NationalUnicornDay #whatdayisitanyway #BelieveInUnicorns #LakeSuperiorStateUniversity

4/9 Edited to

... Read moreNational Unicorn Day on April 9th is a whimsical tradition that captures the imagination of many who believe in the magic of unicorns. I remember first learning about Lake Superior State University's unique unicorn permits, which add a playful and official touch to the mythical quest for unicorns. It's amusing how such a tradition encourages adventure with quirky advice like carrying a flask of cognac and pinking shears—items that feel straight out of a fantasy novel. Participating in this day can be as simple or involved as you want. Some people organize group hunts, often in natural wooded areas, adopting the university’s permit system to add excitement. These events foster community bonding and celebrate the spirit of imagination and hope. Personally, attending a unicorn quest with friends made the day feel special, combining the thrill of a scavenger hunt with shared laughter and creativity. Moreover, National Unicorn Day isn't just about the hunt; it's about embracing belief in the extraordinary, kindness, and a little magic in everyday life. Many use the day to spread positive messages on social media with hashtags like #BelieveInUnicorns and #NationalUnicornDay, which help keep the myth alive in modern culture. Whether you’re a believer or just enjoy the fun, taking a moment on April 9th to celebrate unicorns reminds us to hold onto wonder and joy. For those interested in officially joining a quest, checking out Lake Superior State University’s program is a great start. It’s an experience steeped in local tradition and mythical charm that adds enchantment to springtime.
