'''Gadgadsbogen''' - meaning ''good good day'' in the native language - is the [[Mystery Island]] festival of fruit held annually throughout March, the ''Month of Running''. It celebrates the phenomenon in which new [[Food#Tropical_Food|Tropical Food]] sprout from the ground, while the previous year's tropical food becomes [[retired]].

During Gadgadsbogen, users have been known to rush the [[Tropical Food Shop]] for the new tropical food and other [[Shop#User_Shops|user shops]] in hopes of buying the last of the fruits which become retired, allowing for a profit in the future. Gadgadsbogen also serves as a general celebration of all things related to Mystery Island, often with [[Neopet (species)|Neopets]] released in new ''Island'' colours.

The festival originates from an old story told by Mystery Island inhabitants, in which a bet was created between Llugh and his friend [[Mizuko]], when Llugh claimed he was faster than the sun. Mizkuko challenged him to race from one end of Mystery Island to the other in a day, effectively beating the sun. Llugh's race across Mystery Island was arduous but was aided by the fruits he'd took along for sustenance. Due to a hole in his bag, he lost all his fruit except for three Juppies, and when a hungry traveller asked if Llugh could spare a [[Juppie]] just as the sun was setting, Llugh kindly gave away his last ''Yellow Juppie''. The traveller was in fact an [[Earth Faerie]] called [[Tyleine]], who granted Llugh the strength to get to the edge of Mystery Island before the sun had gone over the horizon. When Llugh returned, Tyleine returned the Yellow Juppie, and asked him to throw the seeds of the Juppie along the road as he ate so new plants would grow. When he does this, new fruits and vegetables grow, a ritual he repeats each year.

On March 3, 2003, a Gadgadsbogen party was held, which was specially attended by [[Kyishi]], [[Tiki Tack Man]], [[Rufus]] (Grand Bogen for the first time), [[Vik]], [[Harry (Techo)|Harry]], and [[Jhuidah]]. After the party, users were asked to make a collection of guesses as to which attendee did what. The guesses were: the colour of the grass skirt, how low they could limbo, which cocktail they drank, and what tropical fruit they ate.
