PTP is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the First Peace Day Celebration in San Francisco, California—and the World is Invited!
Please Join Us!
40 years ago, people around the world came together in San Francisco, the birthplace of the United Nations, to celebrate the passage of the United Nations resolution establishing the International Day of Peace (Peace Day). People in that gathering were inspired to see Peace, know Peace, and bring Peace into their lives.
Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution 36/37, the General Assembly declared this day to be devoted to “commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.
That global celebration in 1984 created a wave that became a global movement. Peace Day is now celebrated by an estimated 3 billion people worldwide.
40 Years later, on Peace Day, September 21st, 2024, the world is coming together again, and you are invited to join us! As it was in 1984, the Peace Celebration will be held outdoors on the Civic Center Plaza from 11:00 a.m. PT to 3:00 p.m. PT. The outdoor stage will feature local and international performers, all celebrating and honoring Peace. Pathways To Peace was the primary organizer 40 years ago and is once again this year.
Out-of-state and global club members can join the livestreamed celebration, and we look forward to welcoming those who can join us live!
We are looking for support and volunteers, so if you are inspired to join the movement, you can learn more here:
