New Delhi: True friendship is a priceless gift. It is a connection that cuts across space and time, binding people together through threads of unspoken understandings. Best friends are those that accept us as we are, without holding anything against us or passing judgement. Every year, National Best Friend Day is celebrated on June 8, a day to recall all the good old times spent with our best friend and catch up with them to make new memories.


National Best Friend Day 2023: History


The United States Congress decided to dedicate a day each year to honour close friends in 1935. They chose June 8, which is typically a warm day nationwide, ideal for outdoor activities. Since then, the custom has spread to numerous other nations. 


This day in turn has given rise to several other events to celebrate friendship, such as Friendship Day, Women's Friendship Day, and even a whole week known as Old Friends, New Friends Week.
