National Best friends Day celebrate that particular person on June 8th every year.

History of National Best friends Day

No one knows precisely when National Best friends Day began, but some people believe that it started in 2002 in the town of Richmond, Virginia.

According to this story, a group of musicians who also happened to be best friends decided to have an extraordinary party at the local water park. They wanted something epic and unique.

Therefore, they decided to advertise the event as Best Friends Day to the rest of the Richmond people. The idea was for everyone to invite their best friend and take part in the celebrations too.

To the organizers' surprise, the event was not only mind-blowing but the idea of Best Friends Day quickly bloomed across the world. The internet and social media carried the story to full strides, and in no time, June 8th was recognized as National Best friends Day.

If you want to stay indoors, grab a bowl of popcorns and watch a movie together. Some of the best titles that emphasize on the importance of best friends include, The Help (2011), Mean Girls (2004), Bring it On (2000) and Best Friends (1982)
