About World Braille Day

World Braille Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Tuesday 4 January, and in 2029 on Thursday 4 January. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in January 2027: Quadrantid meteor shower (3 Jan), National Ribbon Skirt Day (4 Jan) and Isra and Mi’raj (5 Jan). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s on 4 January every year, as set by the United Nations.
