Goose
Day
WHAT is Goose Day?
The origins of Goose Day can be traced back locally to 1786, when an Englishman introduced a German farmer to the practice when settling a contract. Accounts in England had been settled, contracts renewed, and rents paid on Michaelmas Day with a goose as payment since they were at their prime. Legend states that eating goose on September 29th will bring prosperity and good luck throughout the year.
Celebrations include live music, games and contests, a drone light show, goose hunt, 5K race and more. Restaurants create special goose-themed meals, drinks, and delicious sweets, and retailers offer special discounts. Check out our website for a complete list of activities and scheduled events!
