International Repair Day is observed on the third Saturday in October, with events taking place globally to promote the importance of repairing rather than replacing items in an increasingly wasteful society. The day encourages individuals to engage in community repair events, such as Repair Cafes and Restart Parties, where volunteers provide tools and expertise to help fix various goods. Participants are also encouraged to tackle their own household repair tasks and share their experiences on social media. Founded in collaboration with the Open Repair Alliance, the initiative aims to foster a culture of sustainability and repair-mindedness, highlighting movements like the Right to Repair. Activities may include teaching others repair skills, volunteering at local events, or simply sharing repair stories online.
