National Yo-Yo Day

Next Date

For over 30 years June 6th has officially been recognized as National Yo-Yo Day.

This day to honor the Yo-Yo, was placed on the late Chicago businessman Donald F. Duncan’s birthday. America owes its fascination with the yo-yo to Mr. Duncan.

The National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California celebrates this day in the museum with yo-yo demonstrations, guided tours, prizes and treats.

Open year around, the museum exhibits yo-yos from all modern eras. Displays of contest awards, sweaters & patches tell an interesting story on a human scale. Also featured is a the step by step transition from the traditional fixed axle to the modern ball bearing axle that is so popular today. 

More people are playing yo-yo now than at anytime in history. There are more contests held around the world than ever before. This is an activity that has made the connection from past generations with newer generations.

And it has a day to celebrate that.

This is a recurring event. Repeating every year.
