When is National Sit With a Stranger Day?

Every year on November 9.

What is National Sit With a Stranger Day?

National Sit With a Stranger Day on November 9 encourages people to put their phones down and talk to someone they do not know. Studies on everyday conversation suggest that a brief chat with a stranger on a train or in a café tends to leave both people happier than they expected. Mark the day by sharing a bench or a table, saying hello and seeing where the conversation goes.

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.
