Second Friday in February: Welsh Language Music Day (United Kingdom)

Welsh Language Music Day (Dydd Miwsig Cymru) is observed worldwide every second Friday of February to celebrate all forms of Welsh music and the importance of preserving the Welsh language. Established in 2013 by Welsh radio and television presenter Huw Stephens, the day aims to promote the Welsh music scene, which includes genres like rock, pop, electronic music, and hip-hop. The event has its roots in the historical significance of music in Welsh culture, particularly following the suppression of Welsh folk music after the annexation of Wales by England in the 16th century. Organizations such as the Welsh Government, BBC Cymru Wales, and Clwb Ifor Bach support the celebration, which includes music festivals and events across the UK. People are encouraged to participate by attending events, exploring Welsh music online, and sharing their experiences on social media using hashtags like #WelshLanguageMusicDay.
