National Friendship Day falls on August 4th, 2024, always observed on the first Sunday in August. It was founded in 1919 as a way to encourage people to show appreciation to their friends through cards. Over the years, it has evolved, and in 1935, the United States Congress designated it as the first Sunday of August.
The day celebrates the bond of friendship and its importance in our lives. Friendship offers support, stability, and happiness in this ever-changing world. It is a day to spend quality time with friends, exchange cards, and show appreciation. Making new friends and learning to make friendship bracelets are also popular ways to celebrate.
