International Clown Week is celebrated each year from August 1 to 7.
Both International Clown Week and National Clown Day were created to give recognition to those funny clowns that make us laugh and smile. It is estimated that there are over 10,00 clowns in organized clown groups, and over 20,000 clowns world-wide. They all have one goal in mind, and that's to make us happy.
On this day, clowns around the world do what they do best.... they clown around, holding events at malls, nursing homes, schools, and educational events.
Originally, this event was called "National Clown Week". In 1991, the group Clowns of America renamed it "International Clown Week", recognizing that there are many clowns around the world, and this event should be a world-wide celebration.
