About Amor y Amistad (Colombia)

Colombians do not celebrate on 14 February. Their Dia del Amor y la Amistad falls on the third Saturday of September, with the preceding Sunday sometimes a gift day. People exchange cards, flowers and presents with partners and friends, and play amigo secreto, the secret friend game. Couples take the day to propose or announce an engagement. The date was set by the government to move holiday trade away from the first months of the year. Mexico, in contrast, keeps 14 February for the same purpose.
