Vaisakhi
Okay, Vaisakhi is a really important celebration for many people who come from a culture called Sikhism. Sikhs are people who believe in one God and follow the teachings of their holy book called the Guru Granth Sahib.
On this day, which is usually around April 13 or 14, people get together to celebrate a few different things. One is that it's the day that Sikhs were told to wear five things, known as the "Five Ks." These are the kesh (long hair and beard), kangha (a wooden comb), kirpan (a small sword), kara (a steel bangle), and kachera (special underwear). It's also the day that the first Sikh community was established by a man named Guru Gobind Singh.
People celebrate by going to the gurdwara (Sikh temple) to listen to hymns and prayers, and lots of yummy food is shared as well. There are also big parades called Nagar Kirtans, where people dance and sing and show off their beautiful clothes.
Overall, Vaisakhi is a really fun and important day for many Sikhs.
