This is more than just a commemorative day like Barbershop Quartet Day or International Bandana Day where you're simply asked to "observe" something. World Fair Trade Day is more like a celebration. A day of events and festivities saluting fair trade and everything it means. It's an international statement that our purchases can stand for something - but not stand on someone.
Find a World Fair Trade event near you.
If you can't get to an event, you can participate online by supporting these businesses:
Ten Thousand Villages
Global Exchange Fair Trade Online Store
Gifts With Humanity
A Greater Gift
Work of Human Hands Catalog
Lutheran World Relief Handcraft Project Catalog
Original Good accessories and gift
World Finds handmade items
A Better Footprint wholesale goods
Many of these places have brick and mortar stores that are hosting World Fair Trade Day festivities too.

Another great resource is Fair Trade Federation (http://www.fairtradefederation.org). They have a pretty comprehensive member database--good springboard for finding fair trade companies to give your money. :-D
