In Hebrew numerals, the first two letters of Lag BaOmer, the lamed and gimmel, add up to the number 33 (lamed is 30, gimmel is 3). Lag BaOmer is the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer and falls right between the holidays of Passover and Shavuot. It's a day of fun and celebration when many head outdoors for bonfires and picnics.
