Cousins Day History

Cousins Day seeks to recognize the relationship shared between cousins. Cousins are those relatives we share an ancestor with. The term is usually used to refer to children of uncles and aunts. This day aims to cherish the relationship we already have, or foster new ones with our cousins.

Cousins Day seems to have started in 2015 and gained traction throughout the years. It is observed annually on July 24th.
