Singles Awareness Day

October 22, Wednesday

Singles' Day is an informal holiday celebrated on November 11. The day originated in China as a way to celebrate loneliness and independence, as well as an alternative to traditional holidays for couples. Over time, Singles' Day has become a commercial event, especially in China, and has gained popularity as a day of sales and shopping.

Singles' Day was first celebrated in 1993 by a group of students from Nanjing University. The date of November 11 was chosen for a reason - it consists of four units (11.11), symbolizing loneliness.
