Launched in 2021 by MINI USA, the holiday promotes the brand's "fun to drive" nature and fosters a community of car enthusiasts. The tradition of road trips in America dates back to the late 19th century, with significant milestones such as Bertha Benz's journey in 1888 and Horatio Nelson Jackson's cross-country drive in 1903. Today, people partake in road trips for various reasons, including recreation and bonding with friends or family. Celebratory activities include organizing road trips, attending car shows, or simply enjoying a scenic drive. The holiday emphasizes the joy of driving beyond just practical travel.
