Towel Day is celebrated every May 25, and is a tribute to the late Douglas Adams (1952-2001). The date is a celebration of Adams' life, set two weeks after his death on May 11, 2001.
On this day, fans and followers carry with them a towel at all times throughout the day. This is inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series (and later, novels and television series), in which is described that the towel is the most massively useful item any hitchhiker can carry, being the number one item for anyone wandering around the Galaxy.
