Parents' Day is a public holiday in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it is observed on August 1 each year. The holiday is in honor of the parents' role in Congolese society.
Like Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day in other cultures, Parents' Day is an important celebration devoted to parents, but it is celebrated on one day for both parents.
