The World Tai Chi and Qigong Day is an annual event, held on the last Saturday of April, to promote the health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong in over sixty countries since 1999. It begins in the earliest time zones of New Zealand at 10 am, and then participants across Oceania, Asia, Africa, Europe, North American, and South America take part, ending with the final events in the last time zones of Hawaii, almost an entire day later. CAGT has been participating and co-organizing the World Tai Chi Day with the local Tai Chi groups in the Toledo area.
