About Yorkshire Day

Yorkshire Day is a yearly celebration on 1 August to promote the historic county of Yorkshire, in England. The event was first celebrated officially in 1985, when council authorities agreed to host a joint civic celebration in York. Attended by lord mayors, mayors, and other civic heads, this has been repeated annually with the location moving each year. It is convened by the Yorkshire Society. In 2025, Bradford is the official host district.
