The Sweet History of Sweetest Day: A Celebration of Kindness and Love
Sweetest Day might not be as widely known as Valentine’s Day, but its story and meaning make it a charming and heartfelt celebration. Originating in the early 1920s, Sweetest Day began as a way to spread kindness to those in need. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t started by the candy industry (though sweets are often involved) but by a Cleveland philanthropist named Herbert Birch Kingston. He wanted to create a day of joy and generosity for orphans, the sick, and others who might need a little extra cheer.
Kingston and his friends distributed small gifts and candy to brighten people’s spirits, and the idea quickly caught on. Over the years, Sweetest Day evolved into a celebration of both romance and acts of kindness for friends, family, and loved ones.
Sweetest Day falls on the third Saturday in October—just the right time to embrace the beauty of fall and share some warmth with someone special. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, a family member, or someone who’s been going through a hard time, it’s the perfect opportunity to show a little extra love.
