National Bobblehead Day was created in celebration of all the popular spring-connected head bobbing figurines, especially those found at the turnstiles and entrances to sports arenas. Bobbleheads have been around for more than 100 years. These bobbleheads come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most popular bobbleheads are those depicting athletes, professional sports teams, mascots, cartoon characters, and celebrities. On November 18, 2014, it was announced that a national bobblehead museum would be opened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2016. The museum will host the world’s largest collection of bobbleheads as well as honor those who helped make bobbleheads famous and display exhibits about their history and making.

National Bobblehead Day is celebrated every year on January 7th!

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum submitted National Bobblehead Day in December 2014.
