First Sunday in August

Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends began in US in 1935 when Congress proclaimed it a national holiday.

Through thick and thin, our friends are always by our sides. Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day in the U.S., many other countries around the world soon adopted this tradition.

Friendship Day is a time to recognise your friends and their contribution to your life. Friendship helps to bring peace and positivity to the globe - a great reason to celebrate! Friendship Day is a day to reach out to your friends, be them next door, or miles away.
