Happiness Happens Month

Happiness Happens Month is celebrated annually in August. The month is dedicated to celebrating what makes you happy and recognizing the importance of happiness. Founded by The Society of Happy People (SOHP), Happiness Happens Month started in 1998 as a single day celebrated on August 8th called "Admit You're Happy Day". In 2000, SOHP members decided to extend the celebration to the entire month of August.
