How to celebrate Jul 13th

Start your day by embracing your inner geek with a movie marathon or diving into a favorite book. Take time to appreciate geek culture and indulge in activities that you truly enjoy. Next, celebrate Barbershop Music Appreciation Day by listening to barbershop quartet performances online or trying your hand at harmonizing with friends or family. Then, rock out on International Rock Day by cranking up some classic rock tunes, air-guitaring your heart out, or even attempting to learn a rock anthem on a musical instrument.

As lunchtime rolls around, toast to World Rum Day with a refreshing rum cocktail or mocktail. Get creative with rum-infused recipes or simply savor the spirit neat. In the afternoon, honor Beef Tallow Day by indulging in some delicious comfort food cooked in beef tallow. Whether it’s fries, fried chicken, or pastry, enjoy the rich flavor that beef tallow brings to dishes.

Cap off your day by combining all the elements – geekiness, barbershop music, rock music, rum, and beef tallow – by hosting a themed dinner party. Prepare a geeky trivia game, sing barbershop harmonies, rock out to live music or playlists, mix rum cocktails, and serve dishes cooked in beef tallow. Gather your friends or family for a fun-filled evening celebrating these unique national holidays in style.
