World Laughter Day 2025: Celebrate Health, Happiness & Healing Through Laughter
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” — Victor Hugo
The first Sunday of May each year is more than just another date on the calendar. It’s World Laughter Day — a global celebration of one of humanity’s most powerful and healing tools: laughter. In 2025, we observe this uplifting day on May 4th, and it’s the perfect time to pause, smile, and laugh — not just for fun, but for your health, heart, and happiness.
🕊️ The Origin of World Laughter Day 🌍
World Laughter Day was founded in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from India who also founded the global Laughter Yoga movement. What began as a small gathering of laughter enthusiasts in Mumbai has blossomed into a worldwide celebration, with events held in parks, public squares, and online communities.
Laughter has the power to unite people, regardless of language, culture, or background. In a world that often feels divided, laughter can bring us back together.
