Thank you for a wonderful last year! We had a great turnout and with our fundraiser for Roswell, the wonderful support helped us raise $180. Many thanks again to everyone that donated. We, and especially Roswell, are super grateful! Hope everyone had fun and we can't wait to see you all this year at our new location!
How did Hetalia Day begin?
In 2009, some Hetalia fans on Livejournal thought that it would be great to meet up with other Hetalia fans on the 24th of October. Not only would they get to hang out with other people who shared their interest in Hetalia, but they would also be doing it on United Nations Day. After all, Hetalia has renewed their interest in world history, culture and international relations. The idea gained support on the Hetalia Livejournal community where members agreed to organize gatherings in their respective cities. Thus, the first Hetalia Day was held.
Hetalia Day 2009 was a success, and since then there has been an annual global meetup for Hetalia fans. Because UN Day sometimes didn’t fall on a weekend for the following years, the event is just held on the weekend of October closest to UN Day.
