1. When is World Friendship Day?
The United Nations has recently declared the 30th of July to be the official International Friendship Day.

2. Who created World Friendship Day?
There are two separate stories behind the creation of a day called Friendship Day. The Hallmark greeting card company first proposed the idea of a Friendship Day in 1919, choosing the first Sunday in August as the celebratory date (this was the slowest time of the year for holiday cards, and it was hoped that they could create a new demand for them). Friendship Day did not really catch on with the public, and today it is rarely celebrated in the United States.
Nearly 40 years later, in 1958, Dr. Artemio Bracho of Paraguay formed the World Friendship Crusade with some of his friends, which promotes peace and friendship among people of all races and creeds. He was inspired while having dinner with a group of his closest friends on one night in July. The World Friendship Crusade lobbied the United Nations for a worldwide Friendship Day that would fall on July 30th, and in April of 2011, this request was granted.
