When is Global Family Day?

Every year on January 1.

What is Global Family Day?

Global Family Day on January 1 grew out of the UN's call for One Day in Peace at the start of the new millennium, and invites people to begin the year with a day of peace and togetherness. Its idea is that peace starts at home: families, neighbours and communities sharing a meal, forgiving old quarrels and reaching out across divides. People mark it by gathering with relatives, ringing bells, sharing food with neighbours and making a resolution to treat others with kindness.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
