The first Hetalia Day was held in 2009, when Hetalia fans from all over gathered to meet with friends they made online through their interest for the comic and anime Hetalia. They planned for the gathering to coincide with United Nations Day (October 24). Since then, this Hetalia “holiday” has been held every year on a weekend towards the end of October.
This year is our sixth year of celebrating Hetalia Day. Come join us for a day filled with fun and friendship!
