Main Summary

                1000’s of adults and kids got together on Saturday April 7 and had a massive pillow fight. It was organized in over 120 cities across the world. They all had tons of fun and got rid of stress. But who organized the pillow fight. Two artists from Toronto have been organizing free fun events since 2005. In the pillow fights you can go and hit total strangers with pillows.

I think that this is tons of fun and I would love to be in one of these pillow fights. I would love it if Serbia joined the International Pillow Fight of 2013. I really want to go and hit strangers with pillows. These artists are very good people for making the pillow fights.

In case you missed it, Saturday April 7th, was International Pillow Fight Day - Yes that's right, a day when thousands of adults and children all over the world got together in their respective cities, to stage a pillow fight against total strangers!

Now in its fifth year, the crazy event is the brainchild of two fun-loving Toronto artists - Kevin Bracken and Lori Kufner, and their organization Newmindspace. Since 2005, the duo has been organizing fun events that cost absolutely nothing - Things like inviting the general public to play capture the flag on city streets, or organizing massive city bubble battles and even, impromptu subway parties.

Whenever they organize any event for the residents of Toronto, they encourage people  living in other cities to do the same - Making the fun activities truly global. This year, over 120 cities ranging from Washington D.C. in the United States to Izmir in Turkey got into the spirit with some rocking pillow fight parties!
