 Friendship Day
Friendship Day is a day for celebrating friendship. The day has been
celebrated in several southern South American countries for many years,
particularly in Paraguay, where the first World Friendship Day - International
Friendship Day was proposed in 1958.
 History

Friendship Day was originated by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark

cards in 1930, intended to be 2 August and a day when people
celebrated their friendships by holiday celebrations

Friendship Day was promoted by the greeting card National Association

during the 1920s but met with consumer resistance - given that it was
too obviously a commercial gimmick to promote greetings cards.
 United States

World Friendship Day is a celebrated on June 30 in the United States in

pockets of Massachusetts, Ohio, and occasionally New Hampshire. The
holiday is often observed on the prior Saturday. As the name suggests,
the primary focus is celebrating friendships, old and new.

members of a group, each of them secretly selects one, and on July 30
gives a present to the person on the paper. This custom is practiced in both
