It was quite evident from the postings to the Social Media Wall, together with reports and photos received direct from Bailliages, that World Chaîne Day 2025 was an outstanding success.

On this, THE day of the Chaîne, members show their pride in being part of the Chaîne, all the while feeling the spirit of global togetherness!

2025 was the 10th anniversary of World Chaîne Day. The concept was first launched in 2014 on a national basis in Finland before being taken worldwide a year later.

Across the world from Australasia to the Americas, celebrations took place on Saturday, April 26th - the actual World Chaîne Day - or on the days immediately before or after.

Using the material available via the Social Media Wall and sent to us direct, you will note on the Chaîne News Online that many articles were able to be published.

It is most reassuring to see that the enthusiasm for the Chaîne’s special day remains strong, this year’s theme of “Tastes of the World” being particularly well followed.

Congratulations are very much due to Ari-Pekka Parviainen and his team!

Looking ahead, World Chaîne Day 2026 will be on Saturday, April 25th.
