National Fart Day

Next Thursday, 5 February 2026

National Fart Day is a fun and quirky observance that takes place every year on February 5 to honor one of the most satisfying universal experiences of passing gas. 

It is a reminder that we should take life lightly and normalize something as simple as farting. 

Be it an accidental squeak during working out, an uncontrollable one at a party, or a perfectly hidden one in a crowd, this day teaches you to embrace humor, honesty, and the reality that every single human farts. 

National Fart Day began as a playful way to break the taboo around farting and remind people that it’s a normal part of life.

From historical moments like a member of Parliament farting in 1607 to everyday awkward situations, humor has always helped people laugh it off. The day celebrates acceptance, laughter, and not taking ourselves too seriously.

Celebrate National Fart Day

Celebrating National Fart Day is the easiest thing in the world, as you can share funny fart jokes and teach kids how their bodies work and that it is okay to do it. 

It’s also a great excuse to talk about digestion, gut health, and why holding things in—emotionally or physically—is rarely a good idea.

Feeling brave? Share a joke or meme online and spread the giggles using the hashtag #NationalFartDay
