Singles' Day or Singles Awareness Day is an exclusive day for Singles to celebrate their happiness. Many fun events and other entertaining activities will happen across the world. It is celebrated on 11th November of each year. It's a socialized event to express their sole feelings and joy. The idea like valentine's day particularly for single people caught everyone's attention throughout the globe.

It was first started in China, and later, it spread across the globe. China declared Singles' Day as a national holiday, and the bachelor people (Both Men and Women)  acknowledge this day as a 'freedom of happiness.' This day was first observed in the early '90s, by the students of Nanjing University. The four male students introduced this concept of Singles day and decided to celebrate them separately.
