World Beard Day

World Beard Day is an informal celebration of facial hair, from neatly trimmed goatees to sweeping beards. It gives enthusiasts a cheerful excuse to compare styles, swap grooming tips and enjoy a little beard-related humour.

How it is celebrated: fans gather for meetups, share photographs and hold lighthearted beard contests. Barbers demonstrate styling techniques and help people find a shape that suits them.

This celebration moves around the calendar: it falls on the first Saturday in September, so September 5 is only correct in some years.
