US Americans like to have distinct celebratory (or, more often, commercial) periods, and while smaller one-day holidays can fall within that, 7/20 falls kinda close to a couple others.

The two periods it falls between are Independence Day, which is basically the last half of June and the first week of July, and Back to School, which goes throughout the rest of July and August. This officially ends with Labor Day, which is technically a one day holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September, but the three days before it (Labor Day Weekend) are also recognized. Labor Day marks the end of summer, and is usually used as one last chance for barbecues and pool parties. After this starts the traditional Two Months of Halloween, the largest of the Millenial Observances.

Anyway. Like I said, you can have one day holidays during these periods, especially long ones like Back to School (which is less a celebration and more a long period of procrastination), but the activity that makes the most sense for a federal holiday in July is a dedicated barbecue day. Thing is, a lot of people do that on the fourth, the actual date for Independence Day, and Labor Day, just over a month away. To really establish a holiday, you need specific traditions... and we don't really need more excuses for cookouts.

So, what would be the activity for Moon Day? I'd suggest exploration. Make it a day dedicated to day trips, or trying new things. Check out that local zoo you've never gotten around to, go on a glass bottom boat tour... I dunno, run a 5k.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

when you’re out at a restaurant or a coffee shop or a target or whatever with your friends and you overhear/eavesdrop the same snippet of some stranger’s conversation, and you look at each other for a second to check that you both heard this stranger say the same weird/funny/baffling thing and just break out in knowing grins and quiet laughter… that’s a love language
