Sadie Hawkins Day occurs annually in November. However, during leap years, February 29th is also set aside as Sadie Hawkins or Bachelor's Day.
According to tradition, unwed women can ask their intended to marry them on this day, foreign of social stigma. Of course, it doesn’t have to be that serious. This day is often celebrated with dances and mixers in which women ask men out. Legends state that on this day in Leap Years, men are especially attracted to women who take control. For this reason it is sometimes referred to as Bachelor's Day.
The annual event is in commemoration of the holiday that was featured in Li’l Abner, an Al Capp comic strip. This also honors the Sadie Hawkins dance where boys are asked by girls. On this day, girls ask boys out to a dance or date.
In the comic strip Li’l Abner, Sadie Hawkins was the daughter of Hekzebiah Hawkins, one of the earliest settlers of Dogpatch. She was perpetually waiting for a suitor. When she was 35 and still a spinster, her father called all the unmarried men in the town to join the foot race, with marriage to Sadie as a consequence. However, Sadie had her eyes for Adam Olis.
Unfortunately, Olis is already courting Theresa Richmand, the daughter of the largest potato farmer in Dogpatch. Because it was such a good idea, the spinsters of the town decided to make it a yearly event on the first Saturday of November landing or following the 9th.
