History of National Get Funky Day: The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed National Get Funky Day to be observed annually beginning in 2017. Funkytown Fitness, a fitness center in St. Augustine, founded the day. It evolved from the way the community happily came together to help strangers during the devastating aftermath of  Hurricane Matthew. 

Hurricane Matthew formed from a tropical wave that pushed off of the African coast in late September 2016. One it reached the Caribbean, it became a hurricane and quickly intensified. It’s path of destruction included Haiti, Eastern Cuba, the Bahamas and Southeastern U.S.
