American Family Day History

American Family Day was first established in Arizona in 1977 as a one-day proclamation that John Makkai, an Arizonan, successfully lobbied into law. For the first year, Governor Raul Castro signed the proclamation. The proclamation was ratified into Arizona law the following year, in 1978, by the state's new governor, Bruce Babbitt, and has stayed there ever since.

American Family Day Significance

In the fast-paced world, people are moving away from their families. They do not get time to see or meet each other in person. American Family Day aims to bridge this gap and encourages people to meet their family members in person. All you need to do is spend the day engaging in an activity you choose with your family. You can watch films, have a BBQ or go on a picnic. All of it is up to you. The purpose of this holiday is to enjoy the limited amount of time you have with your loved ones.

Here's wishing you all a Happy American Family Day 2023.
