Why Friendship Day Is Celebrated

India marks Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August, so the date moves each year. The UN General Assembly proclaimed July 30 as the International Day of Friendship in 2011, to promote friendship between people, cultures and countries as a path to peace.

The idea is older. Hallmark founder Joyce Hall pushed a Friendship Day in 1930, and in 1958 Dr. Ramón Artemio Bracho proposed a World Friendship Day in Paraguay. In India the day is about tying friendship bands, swapping messages and meeting up with old friends. Want captions for your photos instead? See our Friendship Day captions.
