What Is Pink Flamingo Day?
Pink Flamingo Day began in 2007 to honor the kitschy charm of the original pink lawn flamingo, invented by Don Featherstone in 1957. Today, it’s a lighthearted excuse to embrace all things flamboyant, tropical, and wonderfully extra. Think bright pink outfits, tiki drinks, and decor that screams “I don’t take myself too seriously—pass the pineapple.”
