Overview
About the event
Founded by Joseph J. Goodwin in the late 1950s, National Just Because Day started as a way to encourage families to spend time together, rest from work and enjoy leisure time. Though it was originally celebrated as a movable holiday on the third Wednesday of May, National Just Because Day is an annual holiday that takes place on the same date each year in the month of August.
National Just Because Day is meant to celebrate lazy afternoons at the beach, taking time off and doing whatever you want or feel like in the moment. Just Because!
