What do blackberries have to do with Goose Day?
Goose Day is the American version of Michaelmas, a Christian festival observed on September 29. It honors
Archangel Michael for defeating Satan in the war in heaven. It is said that when St. Michael threw the devil
from heaven, he fell from the skies and landed in a prickly blackberry bush. Satan cursed the fruit, scorched
them with his fiery breath, stamped and spat on them, so that they would be unfit for eating. Folklore sug-
gests that Michaelmas Day is the last day to eat blackberries.

things, as well! FYI—You might be surprised by how popular goose dinners are on Sept. 29. We

So, What is Goose Day?
This local tradition has been observed in the Juniata River Valley for over two centuries, carried here
by an early local settler. Legend has it that if you eat goose on Michaelmas Day, you will never want for
money all the year round. Believers of this tradition adhere faithfully to this tradition and eat goose every
September 29th, St. Michaelmas Day, thus ensuring wealth and prosperity for the coming year.
In the 1970’s, both the Mifflin & Juniata County Commissioners issued formal proclamations establishing
Goose Day as official county holidays.
Goose Day belongs to everyone.
And we’re encouraging everyone to play a part. Organize an event,
host a party, bring friends into town to visit and take advantage of
Visitors Bureau what’s happening in the Juniata River Valley. It’s a beautiful place
to be in the fall. Let’s share it with everyone!
