Hausa Day (Ranar Hausa), formally known #RanarHausa, is an annual cultural celebration observed on the 26th of August by the Hausa people, a prominent ethnic group found in West Africa. This day serves as an opportunity for the global Hausa community to come together and celebrate their rich cultural heritage, traditions, language, and history. World Hausa Day transcends national borders, uniting Hausa people from countries such as Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, and other regions where the Hausa diaspora is present.[1][2][3]
