Everything has its own holiday. In America, we have National Pie Day (yummy); in Spain, they have Goose Day, which is something worth a quick Google. But one holiday spans the galaxies. Star Wars Day is celebrated annually by the universe’s nerds on May 4, because if you’re Daffy Duck, when you say, “May the force be with you,” it sounds a lot like “May the fourth be with you.” You’re clever, so you probably already realized that. Apparently for one day a year, the storm troopers aren’t such bad dudes, because they will be in Klyde Warren Park (2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway) collecting books for kiddos at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas. Snap a pic with good-deeding bad guys, greet your fellow nerds with the cheesy greeting and keep an eye out for Wookiees. Oh, and bring a book for the kids like the good citizen of Earth that you are. They’ll be in the park’s reading room from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. More info is at klydewarrenpark.org.

Sun., May 4, 2 p.m., 2014
