Talk Like a Pirate Day

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a fun, parodic holiday celebrated annually on September 19th, where people adopt pirate speech, using phrases like "Ahoy, Matey!" and "Arrr!". Created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers in Oregon, it became famous after writer Dave Barry wrote about it in 2002, leading to global adoption with themed events and social media fun.
