Baby Yoda sends May the 4th greetings. 
We are celebrating in our homeschool. Nothing fancy. Just skipping our regular classes to do some Star Wars' themed activities. I had forgotten about it until last minute. I usually do forget about these sorts of fun things. One year I remembered to plan ahead for Christmas and we had Grinch-themed snacks and did lessons based off the cartoon and an art class. It was fun. Now I had to last-minute print out crosswords and a few math sheets that are more review than anything. They still have to work on their year-end projects though.

I celebrate a different date: May 10, 1869 Our nation was joined east to west, at least for a little while.
May the steam be with you.

Today is May 4th, a play on the Star Wars line of "May the force be with you."

The only other "fun" day I know is September 19, the annual "Talk Like a Pirate" Day. You can go to the TLAP website and the guys who created it have a whole superstore of related stuff.

I was referencing the post above mine. I wasn't sure what he was talking about at all, to be honest. I get the May the 4th thing. I did fun Star Wars stuff with my kids today.
OK, I'm in the wrong country for that, I guess.

May 10 is Golden spike day for the US. Your day is Nov 7.
A ceremonial final spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) at Craigellachie, British Columbia, at 9:22 am on November 7, 1885.
Yea I'm just another crazy ferroequinologist who likes reality a bit more than sci fi.
Now mix the two into steampunk and you get a glimpse of my view of heaven: a place where impossible becomes reality.
And yes I've seen the steampunk Vader. He's .......... Impressive..... shhhhssss.. clank.. clank.

I reposted on Facebook a pic of four men in a fiery furnace, captioned "May the Fourth be with you" and this text:
Daniel 3:24-25
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

I only have a very slight understanding of steampunk. My husband is more aware of nerd culture and he has explained it to me. I haven't been exposed to it enough to know if I like the aesthetic or not. The little I've seen has had some appeal.
And I'm not super knowledgeable about trains. I really only learned a little about the CPR but not enough to have dates like that memorized. I know it's important to our history and Canadian settlers didn't really start heading west until it was finished (I mean, you had the voyageurs and the various outposts...)
And steampunk Vader....sounds interesting....

Programmer Day is celebrated on the 256th day of the year (September 13th, or the 12th in leap years) https://nationaltoday.com/programmers-day/
September 11th (9-11) is (and was before the 2001 terrorist attacks) Public Safety Day.
March 14th is Pi day. The pizzeria Pi (they use the math symbol) gives away free and reduced price pizza that day (or at least they used to)
April 16th is Fourscore day (4-16). It's a social media-invented holiday, but I hope the church denomination by the same name takes advantage
I guess March 27th (3-27) could be 3 Cubes Day, to be celebrated by eating three cubes of cheese, three cubes of steak, and three cubes of brownie. Washed down, probably, with three of the beverage of one's choice, each containing three ice cubes. Or working on another solution to the "world's hardest math problem" x3+y3+z3=k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100 (aka summing of three cubes) https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a28943849/unsolvable-math-problem/ . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sums_of_three_cubes . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation
Likewise, I suppose February 2 could be Two Deuces day, which could be celebrated playing Acey-deucey or Poker.
Etc.
