National VCR Day is celebrated on June 7 to honor the impact of the video cassette recorder (VCR) on entertainment and technology. This day encourages people to reminisce about the era when renting or purchasing VHS tapes was a special occasion, as many households in the U.S. owned a VCR. Typical customs include sharing memories on social media about favorite VHS movies and experiences with VCRs, watching old recorded home videos, and hosting VHS movie marathons if one still owns a VCR. The day serves as a reminder of the novelty of viewing films before the rise of streaming services. National VCR Day acknowledges the significant role VCRs played in transforming the cinema and video rental industries.
