Home Movie Day is October 17, 2026!

The other day we came across this photo of an audio cassette recorded on Home Movie Day 2003. The owner (HMD stalwart Dan Streible) couldn’t remember exactly what was on it and didn’t have the equipment on hand to play it back, but he posted this on Facebook, which brought back memories of the first Home Movie Day more than 20 years ago!

This got us thinking about how, in addition to the films and videos people bring to Home Movie Day, documentation of the event itself is meaningful (and fun!) to preserve and share. Did you know, for example, that there’s a Flickr group for sharing photos from Home Movie Day? https://www.flickr.com/groups/homemovieday/pool/

It’s been a little quiet lately, but we hope it will see a revival this year!

Speaking of which, it’s high time to remind everyone that October 17th is official Home Movie Day for 2026, though, as we always say, any day can be Home Movie Day! Hachinohe City, in the north of Japan, held its 2026 HMD in March, and Athens, Greece has announced its first-ever Home Movie Day will take place on October 31.

So get out your point-and-shoot cameras and fire up your tape recorders, and don’t forget to bring some home movies too 😎 We hope you’ll consider documenting and sharing your experience at Home Movie Day with us - on Flickr, social media, or email us - we’d love to hear from you!

Go to our About Home Movie Day page to find an upcoming HMD near you https://www.centerforhomemovies.org/hmd/, or our Host Home Movie Day page for all the information you need for organizing and announcing your own. https://www.centerforhomemovies.org/host
