April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many different countries on the first of April of each year. Each April 1st, people bring in the day by playing practical jokes on each other. Some people set up expensive or elaborate hoaxes on April 1st; for example, cars have appeared on flagpoles on top of buildings on this day.
