Plaidurday is the worldwide celebration of plaid, because we're all connected by a common thread. Plaidurday is celebrated annually on the first Friday of October. With plaid, we are stitching together a better world, one seam at a time.
In 2027, Plaidurday falls on October 1.
It all began in Lansing, Michigan. In part, it was inspired by the heckling one young man received from his co-workers. These co-workers (who he secretly has great admiration for) noticed that he was wearing plaid quite frequently. At which point we ask, what else would he wear? Solid colors? Polka dots? Stripes that don’t intersect? Argyle? Sounds foolish.
On the morning of August 26, 2010, an epiphany was had. Plaidurday! The word came to this young man’s mind. From where, nobody knows. But perhaps there is a higher being who happens to love plaid just as much as he does.
The part-ginger, full-Yooper, plaid-wearing man was destined to create the greatest holiday that ever existed. Plaidurday: The Worldwide Celebration of Plaid.
This day would bring together all the wonderful plaid-wearing people of the world
The inaugural celebration took place on October 7, 2011. And forevermore the first Friday of October will be dedicated to plaid as National Plaid Day, or more affectionately, Plaidurday.
You can never plaid too far in advance. Past, present and future Plaidurday dates.
