If you are a hoopy frood, you will know where your towel is at all times.

The holiday stems out of a key phrase in the series of books, called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - A Trilogy in Five Parts that refer to a towel as “…the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”
How to Celebrate?
- Carry a towel with you wherever you go.
- If you haven’t read the books, why not pick them up and start reading them today? We assure you, you will not regret it!
- Listen to the radio show or watch the movie adaptations based on the books.
- Host an H2G2 themed party. Give out towels to your guests as favors. Regale them with bad poetry – hopefully not as bad as Vogon poetry. Serve them a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, lots of fish, and tea, and decorate your venue with petunias and signs that remind people not to panic.
- Attend a local Towel Day event.
Did You Know…
…that H2G2 was originally a radio show? Its popularity prompted Adams to write the books.
