April marks the beginning of spring and a time to start thinking about your upcoming summer hobbies and intentions.
April is a great month to start exploring new hobbies and pastimes. Check out our list of a April hobby ideas and start something new this spring!
Plan for Summer Concerts
Many touring bands have planned their summer tours and put their tickets up for sale!
Plan out your summer concert and festival schedule and pick up your tickets early so you don’t miss out on your favorite bands.
Whether you’re heading out to a festival, concert or small theater gig, getting your tickets now will put your mind at ease and give you something to look forward to this summer.
We recommend SeatGeek.com for picking up tickets and seeing the best shows in your area!
Spring Cleaning / Organization
Spring cleaning can be a fulfilling and rewarding hobby for those who love to tidy up and create a clean and organized living space.
This hobby can be both physical and mental, as the act of cleaning can be meditative and therapeutic, and the results can lead to a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Deep clean your home, declutter, and gett rid of anything that no longer serves you.
Spring cleaning can also help to create a healthier and more inviting living environment, which can have a positive impact on overall well-being.
Whether you choose to tackle the entire house or focus on one room at a time, spring cleaning is a great way to usher in the new season and start fresh.
Baseball
Late March / early April marks Opening Day for the Major League baseball season!
Get into the baseball spirit and head to spring training or an early season game at your home park.
As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, spending an afternoon at the ballpark is a great way to ring in the spring season and spend time outdoors.
Poetry
April is National Poetry Month!
Go to a poetry reading, open mic night or local poetry performance. Write your own poetry and dabble with different poetry writing styles like haikus, acrostics, limericks etc…
Check out a new author and treat yourself to a new poetry book! A few poets that we recommend are Anis Mojgani and Andrea Gibson and Buddy Wakefield for some excellent poetry and live readings around the U.S.

Start Your Garden
As a general rule, it is best to start your garden at least 2 weeks after the last frost date. For many gardeners (in the United States) that date will fall in April!
With the plethora of rain and spring-like temperatures, April may be the perfect time to plan, prepare and start your summer garden.
