About International Day of Happiness

International Day of Happiness 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 Saturday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 20 March, and in 2029 on Tuesday 20 March. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in March 2027: March equinox (20 Mar), French Language Day (20 Mar) and World Sparrow Day (20 Mar). 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 20 March every year, as set by the United Nations.
