What is Sweetest Day?
Sweetest Day, observed on the third Saturday of October, was launched in 1921 by Cleveland philanthropist Herbert Birch Kingston. Originally conceived as a day to bring sweets and small gifts to orphans, the poor, and the shut-ins, it has grown into a regional celebration of kindness — a kind of second Valentine's Day observed mainly in the Great Lakes and Northeast.
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.
