What is Olympic Day?

Olympic Day is a worldwide event celebrated on 23 June each year across the five continents. It celebrates getting active and living the Olympic Values – friendship, excellence and respect – through the pillars of Olympic Day.

What are the Olympic Day pillars?

  • Move
  • Learn
  • Discover

...and the new pillar for 2022:

  • Together for a better world!

Last year, over 3 million people took part in the Olympic Day celebrations, from 116 countries all around the world. This year, we want YOU and your school/family to join the celebrations!

How can I take part?

What you do is up to you – whether moving with an Olympic Day run, learning about the Olympic Values, or discovering new ways to get active.

You could also explore the new Olympic Day pillar, 'together for a better world', which this year is focusing on the theme of peace. Bring your community together to show your support for a peaceful world by joining the #MoveForPeace with a dance off, urban hike, or multi-sports event!
