What is Serendipity Day?

Serendipity Day celebrates the happy accidents and unexpected good fortune that shape our lives. Inspired by the 18th-century coinage of the word 'serendipity' from the Persian fairy tale 'The Three Princes of Serendip,' the day encourages people to stay open to chance encounters and pleasant surprises.

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.
