Friendship Day 2025 is an international day of celebration dedicated to the special bond between friends. Observed annually on the first Sunday of August, it provides an opportunity to express appreciation, love, and gratitude for the friendships that enrich our lives.
The origins of Friendship Day can be traced back to the United States in 1930 when Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark Cards, proposed the idea of a national day to honor friendships. However, it wasn’t until 1998 that the U.S. Congress officially recognized the first Sunday of August as National Friendship Day. Over the years, the celebration has gained popularity worldwide, becoming a day to celebrate the special people in our lives who provide companionship, support, and joy.
