Washington DC event, 2011.
Wikipedia Day
is celebrated on
January 15
of each year since
2001
, on the anniversary of the birth of
Wikipedia
Wikipedia Day has been celebrated, both online and offline, for several years. There is a tradition of diverse local
meetups
and wiki-events for Wikipedia Day around January every year, and on a larger scale
Wikipedia Day unconferences
have been held in several localities since 2010.
As 2001 is technically the birthday of English Wikipedia, other editions have sometimes celebrated their particular languages on their own founding days.
