Windrush Day is a commemoration in the United Kingdom held on 22 June to honour the contributions of migrants to the post-war economy. It celebrates African-Caribbeans who began arriving on the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948, later known as the "Windrush generation". Windrush Day is not a bank holiday and has grown in popularity since a campaign by Patrick Vernon led to its introduction in 2018.
