National Tie Dye Day - April 30th, 2025

Oh man, are you ready for a groovy celebration? Because on April 30th, 2025, we're talking about National Tie Dye Day! This far-out holiday is all about embracing the colorful, playful, and free-spirited vibes of tie-dye art.

Tie-dye has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. The technique originated in ancient Africa, India, and Japan, where artisans used natural dyes and binding techniques to create unique patterns on fabric. But it wasn't until the 1960s that tie-dye became a cultural phenomenon in the US. During the counterculture movement, hippies and artists adopted tie-dye as a symbol of rebellion, nonconformity, and creative expression.
