Pins and Needles Day is celebrated every year on November 27th. It was originally created to commemorate the opening of the Broadway musical of the same name on November 27, 1937. The musical was a pro-labor revue that was produced by the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. It was written and composed by Harold Rome, and it starred a cast of garment workers who were members of the union.

The musical was a huge success, running for over 1,100 performances. It was praised for its witty and satirical take on social and labour issues, and it helped to raise awareness of the plight of garment workers.

Over time, the meaning of Pins and Needles Day has evolved. Today, it is often seen as a day to celebrate the arts, and to recognize the power of ordinary people to make a difference in the world.

Here are some ways that people might celebrate Pins and Needles Day today:

  • Go to see a show. This could be a Broadway musical, a community theatre production, or even a school play.

  • Take a class. There are many different arts and crafts classes available, such as painting, drawing, and acting.
