People all over the world celebrate the festival every year. The traditional celebrations include meeting with friends and exchanging cards, flowers and gifts. And special performances are given by rock bands in the countries like the US.
It is interesting to note that people give the festival different names. What's more, they celebrate it on different dates. Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in August. Women's Friendship Day is on the third Sunday in August. The third week of May is the Old Friends, New Friends Week. But no matter how people celebrate the festival and when people celebrate it, the basic idea remains the same.
