Today is Friday the 13th and World Kindness Day, which just happens to be coincides King Friday the XIII’s birthday, which made it a perfect time for WQED to celebrate its third annual Cardigan Day.

“King Friday’s birthday is celebrated every Friday the 13th, no matter how many there are every year. Fred Rogers celebrated it as a birthday to help dispel its superstitious connotation,” said George Hazimanolis, WQED senior director of corporate communications. “Cardigan Day and World Kindness Day do not coincide each year. It just happened this way this year.”

King Friday XIII’s castle used in the film, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” was available for photos during the drive-up event at the WQED building in Pittsburgh.
