About the Holiday

National Friendship Day is the day to honor those special relationships that we have with our friends. This is the day to let your friends know how much you appreciate them for being there for you through all types of life's up and downs.

In 1935 the United States Congress proclaimed the first Sunday in August as National Friendship Day. Since that time Friendship Day has become an annual celebration and has spread around the world. To learn more about celebrating Friendship Day see the History of Friendship Day.
