Friendship Day 2024 is celebrated every year in India on the first Sunday of August, which falls on August 4th this year. While the date varies globally, the United Nations has designated July 30 as the official date for International Friendship Day.
In India, Friendship Day is observed on the first Sunday of August, making this year’s celebration on August 4th.
Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark Cards, initially proposed a day dedicated to honoring friendships. This idea gained global recognition when the United Nations declared July 30 as the International Day of Friendship. The UN General Assembly proclaimed this day in 2011, emphasizing that friendships between peoples, countries, cultures, and individuals can foster peace and build bridges among communities.
The essence of Friendship Day is to appreciate and celebrate the bonds that friends bring into our lives. The day aims to cherish friendships between individuals, cultures, and nations, inspiring peace and promoting understanding. The UN encourages governments, international organizations, and social groups to host events, competitions, and activities that highlight the importance of friendship.
This day honors the invaluable role friends play in our lives, offering an opportunity to express gratitude, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the joy of friendship. People typically exchange gifts, send heartfelt messages, and spend quality time together, reinforcing the significance of supportive and loving friendships. Despite the varying dates of celebration worldwide, the core idea remains the same: celebrating and cherishing the relationships that enrich our lives.
