To highlight the start of Fairtrade Fortnight themed "Show Off Your Label", shoppers will see performers pose in shop windows wearing little else other than the Fairtrade label.
As many as 12,000 events will be held and a specially devised Facebook challenge will launch at facebook.com/FairtradeFoundation.
Each day, people in the UK will take part in a different, fun challenge such as creating a Wacky Fairtrade Banana Smile, Outrageous Fairtrade Label Waving, painting a Fairtrade Chocolate Moustache, Random Acts Of Fairtrade Kindness, Fairtrade Your Mum, Create A Fairtrade Fruit Inspired Hat, and a Fairtrade Ice Cream Pile Up.
