You might be wondering, how did National Get Funky Day come to be? During the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew in Saint Augustine, Florida, a group called Funkytown Fitness wanted their community to come together. According to nationaldaycalendar.com, “Funkytown Fitness founded National Get Funky Day to help people break free of their comfort zones and let loose for a fun and exciting day throughout the country.” The national day got established on the calendar on October 5, 2017.

National Get Funky Day is more recognized in Florida because of its establishment. Those who learn about this day get the opportunity to share the celebration with others, so don’t forget to share the day and feel the freedom of funk!
