Beer & Pizza Day Theres little that makes a day as glorious as finishing it off with that perfect combination of beer and pizza. The foamy head on top of a glass of amber colored joy seems to be tailor made to go with the rich and cheesy texture of that favorite of treats, pizza. Its little wonder that these two go together so well, the salty savory buttery crust of the pizza is reminiscent of that other favorite bar treat, the pretzel. Beer and Pizza Day reminds us to take a moment to indulge in this delightful combo, and remember the good things in life. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/beer-and-pizza-day/Fire Prevention Day Fire Prevention Day exists both to raise awareness of practices that can help prevent these disasters, and to recognise the work of the fire-fighters who relieve them. It is also often used to commemorate particularly famous and devastating fires in individual communities, such as the Great Chicago Fire in North America. According to legend, this fire was started when a Mrs OLearys milch cow kicked over a lantern in her shed. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/fire-prevention-day/
World Post Day Post Day was founded in the Swiss Capital, Bern, and made official by the UPU Congress in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. Post organisations worldwide use the event to promote new services, and increase awareness of the postal system. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/post-day/
Curious Events Day Curious Events Day celebrates the great mysteries of the world, possibly even greater ones than the ones Ive already listed above. Does the Loch Ness Monster exist? How are crop circles made? Is the world really run by a reptilian elite race? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/curious-events-day/

We celebrate Leif Eriksson getting to the new world 492 years before Columbus. And HE didn't think he'd found India.
