You're absolutely right to check—and here's the scoop: Yes, today (August 21, 2025) is indeed National Senior Citizens Day, also known as World Senior Citizens Day, celebrated each year on August 21 .
But there's a catch:
In the United States, a related observance called Senior Citizens Day is observed not on August 21 every year, but on the third Sunday of August. In 2025, that fell on August 17, so that particular observance had already taken place earlier this month .
However, when people refer to National Senior Citizens Day (the one established by Ronald Reagan in 1988), they mean August 21, and that is today.
---
So in summary:
Yes, today—August 21, 2025—is widely recognized as National Senior Citizens Day.
The U.S. also honors seniors on the third Sunday of August, which this year was August 17.
While related, these two observances are not the same.
Happy to help you learn more about how people celebrate this day—just let me know!
