National Day of Joy

This year's National Day of Joy falls on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

The National Day of Joy began in 2019 by an organization of caregivers providing support for seniors who observed the magic that joyful moments have on their client's well being. It has since evolved into a day for people of all ages to celebrate the simple things in life that don’t involve material possessions, such as nature, family and friendship.

Discover what makes your joyful - Visit our Joy Station from June 22 - 26!

    All Ages are Welcome to:

  • Write or draw in the "Joy Journal"
  • Create a Joy-Themed Keepsake
  • Receive a Festive Giveaway

Give yourself a reason to smile and come join the fun at either the Watertown Library or the Oakville Branch Library.
