Twins Days is a festival for biological twins (and other multiples, e.g. triplets, quads) which has taken place every summer since 1976 in Twinsburg, Ohio, when the festival was founded by Revco's Charles R. DeHaven. It is the largest annual gathering of twins in the world. The event has twin based contests, "talent" shows which is opened every year with the Star Spangled Banner sung by John and Jerry Starlet and signed in ASL by Jamie Maassen and Jodie Qualkinbush, and a parade along Ravenna Road (former SR-14) and routinely draws thousands of participants from all over the United States. It takes place on the first full weekend in August.
