From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robe Day is an upstart holiday observed annually on the 3rd Saturday of January. The concept is simple, a robe must be worn at all times from morning until midnight.

History[edit]

The first Robe Day was held in 2006 in LaGrange, Georgia. Scottie Allen is credited with first developing the idea. The early Robe Days contained small groups of 4 to 5 people, however in the recent years the craze is catching on and the number of participants has greatly increased.

Rituals & Sayings[edit]

Many different activities can be performed on Robe Day, the only requirement is to wear a robe. Horseshoes have been a constant at the early Robe Day festivals. Large amounts of alcohol are also consumed on this occasion.

Some of the favorite sayings of Robe Day include 'Show It' and 'Get Your Robe On', but many more are accepted and each participant is encouraged to develop their own.
