National Cousins Day 24 Jul 2026

National Cousins Day

Today is National Cousins Day—a perfect excuse to reconnect with the people who know your family stories best and probably helped create a few of them. Think of cousins as your built-in crew: part family history, part lifelong adventure. While it originated in the United States, the day has gained traction in the United Kingdom through social media and family-focused events.
