Leif Erikson Day, 2025

This is a presidential proclamation titled “Leif Erikson Day, 2025.” It designates October 9, 2025 as Leif Erikson Day and honors the historic voyage of Leif Erikson as well as the contributions of Nordic Americans to the United States. The proclamation notes the 1964 joint resolution authorizing such proclamations and expresses a broader framing of U.S.–Nordic relations, including cooperation with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland. It calls on Americans to celebrate Nordic American achievements through ceremonies, activities, and programs. As a ceremonial proclamation, it does not create new laws or authorize funding; its effect is largely symbolic and designed to encourage awareness and cultural recognition.
