Crate Day

Crate Day is an unofficial holiday in New Zealand,[1] held on the first Saturday of summer. It was started by The Rock radio station in 2009.[2] Usually celebrated by purchasing a "swappa crate" of beer and drinking it with friends, the event has grown in popularity over the past decade leading to a number of arrests and injuries.[3] Many alcohol related business have promotions for the event and numerous local councils enact liquor bans during the weekend.[4]
