Here it is, the poster for World Eel Day 2026! It's time again to celebrate eels of all sorts in any way you can!

Oh? "How do I part-eel-cipate?" you ask? Well, from the eel man himself:

"There are lots of ways to get involved with World Eel Day. Your eel inspired activities, photos, resources, art, outcomes, thoughts or messages can be shared online on all social media platforms with the hashtags #WorldEelDay2026 #WorldEelDay

For example, you could organise an eel event , draw or make an eel or write a story or a poem. Remember to tag or collaborate with @eelsuitcase on instagram"

Кто у нас на дворе? Illustrated by Alexey Komarov. 1924.
