The International Handpan Day will be celebrated globally on the first Saturday of October — this year, that’s October 5th, 2024.
Handpan Day is a worldwide celebration of this unique musical instrument, which has united countless amateur and professional musicians, as well as instrument builders. Together, they have created a truly global music culture, flourishing with inspiring artistic and engineering innovations. This international collective effort brings beauty and magic to the world, a remarkable achievement that could not be accomplished by a small group alone.
On Handpan Day, handpan players, builders, and enthusiasts are encouraged to organize celebratory projects within their communities. Whether it’s a concert, a jam session, an album release, a music video post, or simply playing your handpan outdoors, there are many ways to join in the festivities.
