Towel Day is an annual celebration on the 25th of May, as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001). On that day, fans around the universe proudly carry a towel in his honour. Douglas Adams' most popular work, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, calls a towel "about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have".

Join the action:

Hardcore hitchhikers may also wish to join ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, the Hitchhiker's to the Galaxy Appreciation Society.

If you liked the first Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, we encourage you to sign the petition for a sequel based on "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe".
