When is National Simplicity Day?

Every year on July 12.

What is National Simplicity Day?

National Simplicity Day honors the birthday of Henry David Thoreau and celebrates the idea that living with less can bring greater happiness. It invites people to declutter their lives and minds—reading, spending time in nature, and unplugging from technology. Thoreau's two years at Walden Pond remain a timeless reminder to focus on what truly matters.

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.
