What Is hetalia Day?
It’s a global meetup for Hetalia cosplay fans.
Background info
In 2009, some Hetalia fans on Livejournal thought that it would be great to meet up with other Hetalia fans on the 24th of October. Not only would they get to hang out with other people who shared their interest in Hetalia, but they would also be doing it on United Nations Day. After all, Hetalia has renewed their interest in world history, culture and international relations. The idea gained support on theHetalia Livejournal community where members agreed to organize gatherings in their respective cities. Thus, the first Hetalia Day was held.
Hetalia Day 2009 was a success, and since then there has been an annual global meetup for Hetalia fans. Because UN Day sometimes didn’t fall on a weekend for the following years, the event is just held on the weekend of October closest to UN Day.
