Tomorrow is Retrocession Day.

October 24, 2026

An awareness day is a date set aside by the United Nations, the World Health Organization or another body to draw attention to a single subject: an illness, a right, an environmental concern. A fixed date gives campaigners and the media a reliable occasion to inform the public. Open Data Insights lists a selection of the international awareness days observed tomorrow, each with a link to a fuller description.

The data shows two awareness days scheduled for October 25. The first is Retrocession Day, which commemorates the end of Japanese rule of Taiwan and its transfer to the Republic of China on 25 October 1945; it is a public holiday in Taiwan and a memorial day in mainland China. The second is World Opera Day, though its description and Wikipedia link actually refer to World Ballet Day, an annual celebration of ballet held since 2014 in October or November. This mismatch suggests a possible data error, as the item name says “World Opera Day” but the description and link point to ballet rather than opera.
