Wright Brothers Day is celebrated in the United States on December 17 each year. This day is an observance but not a federal holiday. The date commemorates the Wright brothers' first successful flight in heavier-than-air, mechanically propelled craft which was accomplished on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
