July 20

In Argentina and Brazil, July 20th is observed as Día del Amigo, a day devoted to celebrating friendship. The tradition began in Buenos Aires in 1969, inspired by global unity following the Apollo 11 moon landing. On this day, friends exchange gifts, cards, and heartfelt messages, and often gather for shared meals or outings. Social media platforms fill with good wishes and nostalgic memories as people recognize the importance of companionship. The festive atmosphere underscores solidarity, support, and joy within communities.
