About World Smile Day

World Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday of October each year, created by Harvey Ball, the artist who designed the original smiley face in 1963. In 2026, World Smile Day falls on 2 October. The day encourages people to perform random acts of kindness and to make at least one person smile.

The 😊 Smiling face with smiling eyes perfectly captures the warm, genuine smile that World Smile Day promotes. 😄 Grinning face with smiling eyes and 😃 Beaming face with smiling eyes represent the infectious joy of sharing a smile with others.

Even a 🙂 Slightly smiling face can brighten someone's day. World Smile Day reminds us that a simple smile is one of the most powerful gestures we have, costing nothing but meaning everything to the person who receives it.
