*** Happy Feast Day ***

The Unknown Apostle,
(his gospel is apocryphal – talk about your oxymorons!)

St. Bartholomew's Feast Day is August 24th
 Clicky

Patron of Armenia, cheese merchants, platerers [sic], tanners; against nervous tics or, depending on the source, patron of bookbinders, butchers, corn-chandlers, dyers, glovers, furriers, leather-workers, plasterers, shoemakers, tailors, tanners, vine-growers, and Florentine salt and cheese merchants. He is invoked against nervous disorders and twitchings

Therefore Bartholomew Fair is held on this day!

        Roome for Company, heere comes good Fellowes,
            Roome for Company in Bartholmew Faire.
        Cutpurses and Cheaters, and Bawdy-house-doore keepers:
            Roome for Company in Bartholmew Faire.
        Punkes, I and Panders, and Casheer'd Commanders:
            Roome for Company ill may they fare.
                                                    (etc., and very much so)

"Rome for Company in Bartholomew Faire," from Ewan MacColl, Broadside Ballads (1600-1700),
vol 1, Folkways (1962).

Entered in the Register of the London Co. of Stationers Oct 22, 1614. (Same tune, I think, as "Hunting the Hare" as sung by June Tabor)

(I don't find the song at Bruce's.  Probably there somewhere, though.  It's an interesting song insofar as it shows many (most?) of the trades practiced in London in the early 17th century.  But you'd probably just as soon sing "The Apple Picker.")   Search the Bodley on "Bartholmew" if you want.
