+DragonsWest Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Anyone see anything on when this day is? It would be kinda nice to get an event out there so people with travel plans can target some of these social opportunities. (and yeah, I know, we're in the middle of Hidden Creatures, but this is coming up fast, usually mid-August.) Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) A quick web search showed 2 days: Thurs, August 16 and Sun, August 19. I don't know which is correct. Edited July 10, 2018 by TriciaG Quote Link to comment

I tried a couple searches myself and only found past years. Nothing in the O-fish-all Blog, yet. I'd rather get the event right on the bunny than go through the bother of moving it (which messes with tidy people who like to keep their ducks lined up in advance.) Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Well, dang and stuff. I've done this search how many times and now this pops up: https://www.checkiday.com/64153818189414efe5372b4e129ffa8e/international-geocaching-day August 18th, 2018. Plus, future dates. Does that sound right, third Saturday of August? From the 2016 Souvenir, teh frog sez: Quote A Souvenir by: Geocaching HQ Additional Information:Happy International Geocaching Day! This special day is celebrated every year on the third Saturday in August. So that sounds pretty good. 18th is shall be, an event of eventful proportions ... there may be coffee involved.

+The A-Team Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There used to be an article in the Help Center that gave the rule, but that article seems to be gone now. The third Saturday in August sounds right, and I confirmed that every previous IGD since 2010 has occurred on the third Saturday in August. Strangely, even though this is just over a month away, I have yet to see anything from HQ about it on any platform. Maybe they've been too busy with the current promotion? Quote Link to comment

Looking back, I do not see a souvenir for every year. Doesn't matter. We'll get out and do a CITO. Can't wait on GC.com Quote Link to comment

There has been one every year, but they had inconsistent names in the first few years: 2011: International Geocaching Day 2012: Second Annual International Geocaching Day 2013: 31 Days of Geocaching 17 / 31 Int'l Geocaching Day 2014: International Geocaching Day 2014 2015: International Geocaching Day 2015 2016: International Geocaching Day 2016 2017: International Geocaching Day 2017 Quote Link to comment
