About National Florida Day
National Florida Day is a creator-defined observance in National Day Calendar’s National State Days series, observed on January 25.
It is separate from Florida’s March 3, 1845 admission/statehood date and should not be presented as an official state-government holiday without separate legal authority.
Why National Florida Day matters
The day can be used to explore Florida’s communities, places, cultures and history while keeping the observance’s private creator-defined identity clear.
Florida Department of State history begins thousands of years before statehood and discusses earlier Native peoples as well as continuing Seminole and Miccosukee communities.
