World Sword Swallower's Day was created by SSAI in 2008 * to raise awareness of the contributions sword swallowers have made in the fields of science and medicine, * to honor veteran sword swallowers, * to raise contributions for Esophageal Cancer and the Injured Sword Swallower's Relief Fund, * to dispel myths about sword swallowing, * and to show the public that after 4000 years, sword swallowing is still a viable and exciting form of entertainment today!

Come join us in celebrating World Sword Swallower's Day on the last Saturday in February at a Ripley's Believe It or Not near YOU!
