2026 South Asian Heritage Month Date Change

From 2026, South Asian Heritage Month (SAHM)
will take place from 1st to 31st July.

The month will still have the same focus on commemorating and celebrating South Asian cultures, identities, histories, and communities, but spread over the whole of July.

Dates are changing for the following reasons:

Education

To align with the majority school term calendar and help work alongside end-of-term activities.

Accessibility

To increase accessibility and uptake for audiences across the world.

Global Involvement

To respect SAHM’s evolution from a UK-rooted project to a global movement with diverse diasporic engagement.

Focus

To help make it easier for everyone to remember our dates each year.

Please kindly note the date change and update any plans accordingly.
