August 28: Grandparents’ Day (Mexico)

Grandparents’ Day in Mexico is observed every August 28 and celebrates the important role of grandparents in families and society. This holiday was inspired by the National Grandparents Day in the United States, which was established by Marian McQuade in the 1970s. Although less popular than its U.S. counterpart, Mexican Grandparents’ Day sees participation from various commercial and charity organizations that host special events in hospitals and nursing homes. The observance aims to honor and appreciate the elderly, reflecting a cultural recognition of their contributions to family life. While the holiday may not be as widely celebrated, it serves as an opportunity for families to come together and express gratitude towards their grandparents.
