Friendship Day is a special occasion dedicated to celebrating the bonds of friendship and showing appreciation for friends. It originated in the United States in 1935, proposed by the U.S. Congress to honour friends and the role they play in our lives. Over the years, it has gained international recognition and is celebrated in various countries, each with its unique traditions.  

When is Friendship Day?

Typically observed on the first Sunday of August in India, Friendship Day encourages people to express gratitude and affection for their friends through gestures like exchanging friendship bands, gifts, cards, and heartfelt messages. Social gatherings, parties, and outings are common ways to celebrate, fostering a sense of togetherness and joy.

July 30, however, also marks International Friendship Day. Even United Nations shared a greeting with social media.

Significance

The day serves as a reminder of the importance of friendships in providing emotional support, companionship, and happiness. In the age of social media, it has also become a popular occasion for sharing photos, memories, and messages online, connecting friends across distances.

Friendship Day not only strengthens personal bonds but also promotes the values of kindness, understanding, and mutual respect, highlighting the positive impact friends have on our well-being and overall quality of life.
