National First Ladies Day

National First Ladies Day is observed on the last Saturday in April each year to honor the contributions of the women who have served as First Lady of the United States, a role that began with Martha Washington following President George Washington's inauguration on April 30, 1789. Established in 2022 by the National Day Calendar in partnership with the National First Ladies Day Commission, it recognizes the lasting impact these women have had on American history, culture, and civic life.
