About World Day for Cultural Diversity

World Day for Cultural Diversity 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 Friday; in 2028 it’s on Sunday 21 May, and in 2029 on Monday 21 May. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in May 2027: International Tea Day (21 May), National Pizza Party Day (21 May) and Endangered Species Day (21 May). 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 21 May every year, as set by the United Nations.
