Ratcatcher's Day

Ratcatcher's Day is celebrated on the 22nd of July in the USA and Australia. It seems to be a holiday in English-speaking countries, based upon the date of the Pied Piper incident as reported in the Poem by Robert Browning.

Ratcatcher's Day is a holiday remembering exterminators, similar to Secretary's Day
