July Mass Uprising Day (Bengali: জুলাই গণ-অভ্যুত্থান দিবস, romanized: Julāi Gônô-Ôbhyutthān Dibôs) is a national holiday in Bangladesh that is celebrated on 5 August annually from 2025, commemorating the July uprising.
On 5 August 2024, as a result of the July uprising, prime minister Sheikh Hasina resigned, bringing an end to her 15-year rule, which later became known as 36 July. In January 2025, the allocation of business of the Directorate of July Mass Uprising included mention of observing the day, which was subsequently approved. Thereafter, on 25 June 2025, the day was classified as a national day, and on 2 July, it was declared a public holiday.
