Your guide to celebrating October 23

Skip to all 13 days

A shuffle button can do a surprising amount of party planning. On October 23, start with National iPod Day and build a mix of favorite songs that can carry a small gathering for a couple of hours. Take turns as personal DJ, with each person choosing one track that gets the room moving and saying why it earned a spot.

Give the music a sweet intermission with National Boston Cream Pie Day. Set out slices so everyone gets a clear view of the soft sponge cake, cream filling and shiny chocolate glaze. Slow down for a bite long enough to notice how those layers work together, then get back to debating which song should play next.

Save the toast for Global Champagne Day. Share a bottle with friends and raise a glass to the playlist, the pie or simply having everyone in one place. Champagne comes from France’s Champagne region, but you can join the celebration anywhere. If you want to take the party beyond the living room, check the official event map for a nearby Champagne gathering.

Keep the final song relaxed, leave one last slice within easy reach and let the bubbles handle the applause. Anyone asking for an encore can take the next turn as DJ.
