Twice every year there are two dates that the Western Lolita community refer to as "International Lolita Day", or "Loliday" for short. The first Saturday of both June and December are when Lolitas worldwide get together and celebrate. But why two dates per year? Answers have included some Lolitas would like to show off their coordinations in both the summer and the winter, plus the fact that Lolitas are worldwide and the weather isn't always accommodating.
The point of having a Lolita Day is to educate the masses about Lolita fashion while having an excuse to meet other Lolitas and have fun! Sometimes events and media outlets are involved, but generally it's just local Lolitas and their friends dressed up in public.
The concept for a Lolita Day in the West was first brought to light in 2005. After a positive response from the EGL community, the first International Lolita Fashion Day became a reality and an Official Loliday group was made in order to store photos, and remind members of the upcoming dates each year.
Almost five years later, Lolitas worldwide still celebrate Loliday and are spreading the world about Lolita fashion. Lolita is slowly gaining more popularity outside of Japan and doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon!
