National Countdown Day

1...2...1...1...National Countdown Day, March 21 ticks down the minutes, seconds, or days to big and small events.

3...2...1. Everyone merrily played like it was 1999 before the new millennium arrived, with some celebrating like it was 1999.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere, somewhere!

We can begin counting down to just about everything on National Countdown Day, 03/21. We countdown to the next celebration every day in the office. It's also a day to reflect on the past and present countdowns of utmost importance.

Parts of the United States counted down to a total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. The event provided road trip opportunities for those within driving distance. It also provided science party lessons on rooftops in the path of the eclipse's course. And it was certainly a memorable countdown. Did you miss it? Did you miss it? For April 8, 2024, the countdown begins. This solar eclipse will cover portions of Mexico, Central and Northeastern United States, as well as a small portion of Canada.

Royal countdowns

Since royal weddings attract a lot of attention, countdowns are an important part of the attraction. The fanfare and dedication to tradition remind us of storybook weddings. Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer's wedding on July 29, 1981; Prince William and Catherine Middleton, April 29, 2011; Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018.

The countdown to Brexit was another British countdown that kept the world curious.

The countdowns have counted downs among the united states countdowns

This could be the first day of baseball, racing, the swimming pool, or hunting season in the United States. There are some of the most popular countdowns in the United States leading up to opening days. However, the countdown to tax day, election day, or even the closing bell can be a positive or ominous one. Of course, it all depends on the result. Sometimes one countdown even depends on the results of the other countdowns!

Summer and sports

Now, countdowns to summer break can begin as early as September 1 or as late as spring break. Many that travel on two wheels like to count down to Sturgis. Other sports enthusiasts like to countdown to March Madness, Gameday, and Olympic Opening Ceremonies. The countdown to every game's final buzzer is also counted. However, there are games that have no time limit and therefore no clock to end the game. Can you name one? Can you name one?
