[2025 江苏苏州期末]International Day of Friendship is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on 30th July every year. Celebrating the festival was first started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn't only happen in the US. People in other countries are interested in it too.
The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world. With more and more countries joining in the celebrations, International Day of Friendship soon became an international festival.

Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups.
