*Friend's Day *is a celebration of friendship, held annually on July
20<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_20>,
mainly in Argentina <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina> and
Uruguay<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay>,
but also in some other countries.
The idea for Friend's Day goes back to Argentine teacher, musician, and
dentist Enrique
Febbraro<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enrique_Febbraro&action=edi...>,
who lobbied to turn the anniversary of the first moon
landing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing>into an
international day of friendship. He argued that on this particular
day, the whole world had been friends of the three
astronauts<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11>.
The first official recognition of the day came with decree No. 235/79 by the
government of the province of Buenos
Aires<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Province>,
which authorized the celebration and gave it official nature.
In Argentina, Friend's Day is often a good excuse for a common friendly
gathering, though people also employ the day to get in contact with old and
seldom-met friends and greet them. Since it is not a public holiday in
Argentina <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Argentina>, the
gatherings tend to happen during the evening.
