It's May the 4th - the unofficial holiday celebrating the Star Wars franchise.
It's a pun on the famous line "May the force be with you" and it was reportedly coined by Margaret Thatcher's followers in 1979 on the day she took office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, when they put a congratulatory ad in The London Evening News saying "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations." Who knew?
