About this tool
The International Day of Happiness Countdown shows exactly how much time is left — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until International Day of Happiness, updating in real time.
When is International Day of Happiness?
International Day of Happiness is observed on March 20 every year. If today's date has already passed this year's date, the countdown automatically switches to next year's occurrence.
What is International Day of Happiness?
The United Nations designated this day in 2012 to recognize happiness and wellbeing as universal goals and to promote a more inclusive, sustainable approach to economic growth that prioritizes people's happiness, not just measures like GDP.
Why use a countdown?
A countdown makes it easy for schools, workplaces, or communities to plan wellbeing-focused activities or awareness campaigns timed to the day.
