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.

5
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.

Argentina
  • In Argentina, Friend's Day, on July 20, is an
    excuse for a friendly gathering and greeting both
    current and old friends. Since it is not an
    Argentine public holiday, people tend to gather
    during the evening.

    20

Finland and Estonia

Paraguay
  • In Paraguay, the eve of July 30 is used for
    giving presents to close friends and loved ones,
    and celebrations are a common sight in bars and
    nightclubs. The game of the Invisible Friend
    (Amigo Invisible) is considered a tradition, in
    which small sheets of paper with names are given
    to all 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 schools and workplaces in AsunciĆ³n and
    other Paraguayan cities.

Peru
  • Since 2009, Peru celebrates "El dia del Amigo" on
    the first Saturday in July. This day was proposed
