Overview

Mean Girls Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated annually on October 3rd by fans of the 2004 cult classic film "Mean Girls."

The day is typically observed by watching the movie, quoting memorable lines, and sometimes wearing pink, a nod to the film's famous "On Wednesdays we wear pink" rule.
