The Feast of Aziraphale (also known as Azirafeast) is a yearly event in the Good Omens fandom, occurring on November 19th from 2020 to present. The day celebrates the character Aziraphale, and encourages participants to be hedonistic, creative, and indulge in activities inspired by him.

Participants have principally engaged with the event by creating fanart of Aziraphale enjoying some of his favourite activities (eating and drinking foods mentioned in canon, reading in comfort, etc.), or by doing them in his honour themselves (sometimes in cosplay).

Creations and records of activities are shared through the #azirafeast hashtag, on twitter and other social media.

The name and concept comes from the feast days celebrating saints in the Christian calendar.

Origins

The event was conceived in the Good Omens Art Pit discord server and spread to the wider fandom through a tweet by Cliopadraart:

*slides in* We had a just-for-fun idea in my art server to celebrate The Feast of Aziraphale on the 19th of November, a day to sit in comfort, read, eat (sushi, crepes, pears, etc.), be gay and draw angel... Anyone want to join the celebration?

We came up with this thing in the Good Omens Art Pit discord server.
