Love & Friendship Day

 



Love and Friendship Day  (El Día de Amor y Amistad) is the Colombian version of Valentine’s Day, celebrated on the third Saturday of September each year. It is a celebration in Colombia when lovers and friends share gifts, letters and tokens of appreciation. Unlike Valentine’s Day, these gestures aren’t necessarily romantic in nature. 

There’s also the long-held tradition of sending amigos secretos (secret friendship letters). Imagine Secret Santa mixed with a secret admirer note and that’s an amigo secreto.
