22 January Holidays

Grandparents Day became a recognized holiday in 1978 thanks to a presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter. Additionally, it is not only for grandparents.

The 18th of March of every year must be observed as "Grandparents and Grandchildren Day."

Marian McQuade began a movement to designate a special day to honor grandparents in 1970. She was able to connect with governmental, business, religious, and civic leaders as a result of her efforts, and she also started a statewide campaign for Grandparents Day.
