Ever wonder how an annual backyard barbecue turns into a three-day weekend? In this episode, we trace the journey of holidays from folk traditions to federal recognition. With Thanksgiving and Juneteenth as our examples, we explore how people-powered celebrations rise through the ranks — from folk, to popular, to elite culture — ultimately becoming national events. Most holidays evolve from backyard handshakes, to celebrity hashtags, to federally-recognized holidays.
