About Endangered Species Day

Endangered Species Day is marked on the third Friday of May each year. It’s one of the environmental days listed on Wikipedia.

In 2027 it falls on a Friday; in 2028 it’s on Friday 19 May, and in 2029 on Friday 18 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), World Day for Cultural Diversity (21 May) and National Pizza Party 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 the third Friday of May every year.
