October 7 is made for drinks with a side of wordplay. Start with something frosty, invite a few people over later, and keep a scrap of paper handy for any accidental masterpieces.

Ease into the plan with National Frappe Day. Make a frozen frappe from whatever is already in the kitchen, then share it with a friend who appreciates a coffee that requires both a straw and a little patience. If you are picking one up instead, pay another frappe forward and give someone else a chilly surprise.

National Frappe Day

Enjoy a delicious, frozen frappe, share with others, see what businesses are offering free frappes, and pay it forward for someone else to enjoy.

By evening, Canadian Beer Day shifts the gathering north. Set out a Canadian lager beside an IPA and compare the two over a relaxed supper. A local pub, tasting or brewery tour works just as well if you would rather go out. Raise a glass to the people who brew, deliver, sell and serve the beer. You can also visit the official celebration site to see more from the Canadian beer community.

Canadian Beer Day

Join or host a Canadian beer event, or just gather your friends or family and have a taste-testing of various kinds of Canadian beers in your own home.

Then let Random Acts of Poetry Day handle the entertainment. Turn a favorite sip into a tiny poem or make your toast rhyme, even if “pilsner” sends the whole table scrambling for a second line. Read the results aloud with confidence. Save the best verse, then write it in sidewalk chalk for passersby to discover.

Random Acts of Poetry Day

Grab some chalk or a megaphone and get ready to share your poetry with the whole entire world, guerilla-style, on Random Acts of Poetry Day.

A frozen coffee, two Canadian beers and a gloriously questionable rhyme make a pretty lively October 7.
