International Clown Week
August 1, 2025-August 7, 2025 -
Global, Global
While it might feel like a recent event, Clown Week can actually be traced back more than 70 years when it was celebrated in the 1950s on a rather small scale. The event grew in scope and, in 1966, the President of the Clown Club of America worked hard to request national proclamation of the Clown Week.
By 1969, a joint resolution was introduced to the United States Congress and that year it was even organized for a group of clowns to visit the senate building in Washington DC! The next year, National Clown Week made it to the desk of US President Richard M. Nixon for approval, which was signed into law on August 2, 1971.
Since many clown organizations host international constituencies, in 1988 it was decided to move beyond the national title and include folks all over the globe by naming it International Clown Week!
