Sadie Hawkins Day: 2 (See Note Below)  Link
(Always First Saturday.  This is what Chase's Calendar put and so I stuck with that formula for this observance.  But, a Sadie Hawkins Dance can be held anytime a school or someone wants to have one.
 Also, some call Leap Year Day - Feb. 29 as Sadie Hawkins Day also because tradition states that women can ask the men to marry them on that  day.  To me, Leap Year Day is not Sadie Hawkins Day and they are two separate observances. Asking a guy to a dance is different than asking him to marry you.
 Although...in the cartoon strip, once the single gals caught their guys in the annual footrace, the men were forced to marry the gal that caught them aka a shotgun wedding per se. ;)  Hope this helps to clarify things a bit.)
