National Bison Day

National Bison Day is an annual celebration in the United States of the significance of the American bison. A campaign is underway to pass federal legislation officially recognizing the first Saturday of each November as National Bison Day. Although the legislation has so far failed to pass, the Senate has passed a resolution each year since 2013 recognizing the day.

The day is celebrated at sites involved in the conservation of American bison. In addition to organizing, sponsoring and attending local bison-related events and celebrations, the Beards for Bison campaign encouraged supporters to discuss National Bison Day on social media via hashtags and selfies.
