OCCASION & TRIVIA CALENDAR

Our popular calendar lists over 300 entries designed to inspire a party, or simply create an excuse for one.

From classic holidays we all celebrate like Thanksgiving, events like the Super Bowl, to obscure celebrations like "Limerick Day" and the always popular "Eggs Benedict Day.

We have suggestions on how to celebrate some of these dates. Try a Mint Julep to celebrate "Mint Julep Day", or a Dean Martini cocktail to celebrate Dean Martin's birthday.  (How you celebrate "National Poultry Day" or "National Pass Gas Day" is your business.)

Click on the month of your choice and find out what holidays or excuses to party you have been missing, or find out who invented Root Beer, or what day the final episode of "Cheers" aired.  Have Fun!
