About this tool
The Africa Day Countdown shows exactly how much time is left — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until Africa Day, updating in real time.
When is Africa Day?
Africa Day falls on May 25 every year. If today's date has already passed this year's date, the countdown automatically switches to next year's occurrence.
What is Africa Day?
Africa Day marks the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (the predecessor to the African Union) on May 25, 1963, and is celebrated across the continent and its diaspora to recognize African unity, culture, and progress.
Why use a countdown?
Knowing exactly how many days remain makes it easier to plan community events, school programs, or personal celebrations around the date without having to check a calendar repeatedly.
