Friday the 13th is here, and while some people see it as just another day, others consider it the unluckiest date on the calendar.

In Western culture, Friday the 13th is traditionally associated with bad luck, while in Italy, it’s actually Friday the 17th that gets the unlucky reputation. The date happens at least once every year, and can occur up to three times. In Ontario, the day usually brings thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to Port Dover for the famous Friday the 13th gathering. It’s a long-standing tradition that turns superstition into a celebration.

The next Friday the 13th is August 13, 2027.
