Pandemonium Day is marked on July 14 as a day to celebrate the utter chaos and complete disorder in life.

The word "Pandemonium" comes from a Greek word that roughly translates to "All Demons." The word first appeared in John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" in the 17th century. In his book that retells the biblical story of Adam and Eve and their temptation by Satan, Milton used the word "Pandemonium" to describe the capital of Hell built by the fallen angels.

In today's world, Pandemonium stands for anything that denotes chaos, confusion and turmoil. It is a day to get a little disorganized and enjoy the chaos of life.

National Pandemonium Day is a chance for people to take a fresh look at their lives from a different perspective. It is the perfect opportunity to take a break from their mundane routines and engage in random acts of madness. It is a day to get wild and crazy as long as you do not step into someone's life or break any law.
