World Jump Day

World Jump Day is observed annually on July 20.

The observance promotes physical activity, fitness, exercise, healthy living, outdoor recreation, sports, wellness, and active lifestyles through fun jumping activities and community participation.

World Jump Day was first organized in 2006 by German artist Torsten Lauschmann as a symbolic global event that humorously encouraged people around the world to jump simultaneously to "shift the Earth's orbit."

Although the scientific claim has no basis in reality, the observance has become a creative celebration of global unity, public participation, movement, and physical fitness.

Today, World Jump Day encourages people of all ages to jump, stay physically active, exercise regularly, improve health and fitness, enjoy outdoor activities, and celebrate movement, energy, wellness, and togetherness through fun recreational activities.
