International Day of Happiness Saturday, March 20, 2021 What is the International Day of Happiness? What is the International Day of Happiness? Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated the International Day of Happiness as a way to recognize the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world. Find more information about this annual event on the United Nations website: https://www.un.org/en/observances/happiness-day. The United Nations and Optimist International is inviting each person of any age plus every classroom, business and government to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness. One way to promote happiness yourself is to “pay it forward” by running an errand for an elderly neighbor, complimenting someone, pay for a coffee or meal for someone in line behind you. The possibilities are endless. Snap a picture or talk about your deed using the #HappyOptimist on your social media to spread awareness of this wonderful day.
