I'm interested in hearing about those of you who have periodic celebrations, observances, that aren't the norm for your jurisdiction.

Whether they be serious, quirky, fun, etc., what do you guys do that others don't? How does it enrich the fraternity for you?

Also, no goat stories.

At one of my lodges, our June regular communication (before we go on break for the summer) is focused primarily on fellowship. Dress code is relaxed from jacket-and-tie to Hawaiian shirt and shorts, we have the shortest possible meeting, and then retire downstairs for surf-and-turf. Brothers who have moved too far away to attend regularly make a point to come for this, and it tends to be a popular night for visitors as well. We went through about 50 lobsters and 32 pounds of ribeye steaks this year.

Would pair well with a bonfire and cigars I think.

Our building happens to be right on Main Street in our town; I don't think our neighbors would appreciate a bonfire. Some guys do chill out back with cigars, though.
