Singles’ Day 2024 Date

Singles’ Day 2024 will be celebrated on November 11 or 11/11. The main reason that 11/11 is marked as Singles’ Day is that the number 1 resembles a bare branch, which is Chinese internet slang for an unmarried man. The date is believed to signify four singles standing together. This observance is also known as Double 11.

Significance of Singles’ Day

The celebration of Singles’ Day has a unique story. Back in 1993, four students from Nanjing University's Mingcai Wuzhu (all single men) dorm discussed how they could break free from the monotony of single life and instead focus on celebrating the freedom and power that comes from being single. The celebration of Singles’ Day has been an annual occurrence ever since. The observance was initially considered a cynical response to the traditional couple-centric festivals. However, in recent years, the celebration has evolved into being more focused on embracing one’s singlehood and learning to be happy by oneself. Singles' Day Date: What Is Double 11?
