Join us on this special day to make the most of it.

History of Call of the Horizon Day

Although the origin of the Call of the Horizon Day is unclear, the holiday has reportedly been celebrated since 2011. Regardless, the horizon has always symbolized dreams, hopes, and opportunities in stories and movies since times immemorial because of its beauty and vastness. Horizons could also signify something unattainable or unfulfilled dreams that are out of reach. In the notable 1918 American play titled “Before the Horizon,” award-winner playwright Eugene O’Neill describes one of the main characters to be particularly drawn to the horizon, which to him represents freedom and adventure but never acting on his dream. The play won the 1920 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the tragic narrative that highlights how dreams are necessary to sustain one’s life.Call of the Horizon Day has also been considered equivalent to Wanderlust Day in other countries. However, the concept of Wanderlust Day steers more towards travel and exploration. Striking more of a resemblance to World Dream Day initiated in 2012, Call of the Horizon Day is an empowerment-driven holiday to motivate people to pursue and manifest their dreams. Because our future is not ascertained anyway, this day is dedicated to focusing on our next move and planning our next project without reservations or equivocation. There is no better place to think big and move forward with our life choices with optimism than an open space with a grand view of the horizon.A high enough place, a vast flat field, or an ocean is the best place to imagine our next moves and dream about our next adventure. A beautiful memory filled with promises to ourselves would create an even better memory.
