Axe Throwers have their own holiday

Axe throwing is a sport started in 2006 in which the competitor throws an axe at a target, attempting to hit the bull's eye. Axe throwing is an event in most lumberjack competitions. Every year on June 13, International Axe Day is held to celebrate the passion people share towards this sport

From the World Axe Throwing Website:

“This day is dedicated to those around the globe who share our passion for axe throwing. The members of the World Axe Throwing League have this goal in mind—to raise awareness and unify the sport of urban axe throwing. It’s not surprising that axe throwing is trending and growing in popularity internationally. This sport is seriously fun and offbeat—it’s an inclusive activity everyone can enjoy, even children.”

International Axe Throwing day is on June 13. For committed axe throwers, it’s a great excuse to celebrate everything they love about the sport. The satisfying thud of the axe into the wood, the thrill of making the bullseye in the heat of competition, and, of course, the friendships formed through a shared appreciation of throwing sharp objects around.

But International Axe Throwing Day isn’t just for the already-converted. In fact, it’s the perfect chance for the uninitiated to pop along to their local axe throwing venue and find out why axe throwing is now one of the fastest growing new sports in North America.
