Everything You Need to Know About World Vitiligo Day-USA 2025 in Tampa
The 2025 U.S. celebration of World Vitiligo Day—officially designated as June 25th—will take place June 24-29 in Tampa, Florida. (See you there!)
Celebrated annually around the world, World Vitiligo Day was established to promote global awareness of vitiligo, provide support for those living with the condition, educate healthcare providers about its care and treatment, and raise funds for research efforts. In the years since it was first observed (in 2011), World Vitiligo Day—also known as WVD—has become a worldwide phenomenon. It’s a day to honor those living with vitiligo (and fellow advocates and caregivers) and their experiences with the condition.
The U.S. annual event is celebrated as a multi-day conference featuring medical research and treatment updates, panel discussions by leading dermatologists, vendors, and social opportunities, and topical breakout sessions. Registration for the U.S. event is open now, with early bird discounts available.
Here’s what you need to know about this year’s conference.

Event programming and schedule
This year’s WVD-USA event is hosted by Florida-based Beautifully Unblemished Vitiligo Support Group in partnership with the Global Vitiligo Foundation. While a full schedule is forthcoming, the weekend promises to be filled with educational sessions, along with opportunities to connect with advocates, experts, and others living with vitiligo—all with beautiful Tampa, Florida, as a backdrop. Past WVD-USA attendees always cite the event’s sense of camaraderie and community connection as highlights.
Kids’ camp
Camp Victory, WVD-USA’s sister conference for kids living with vitiligo, launched in 2024 and returns this year June 24-26th. Aimed at fostering a community that both understands the challenges of living with vitiligo and celebrates the resilience and strength of those with the condition, Camp Victory is open to kids ages 5 to 15 (along with a parent or guardian). Camp Victory features group sessions led by trained psychologists, fun excursions to area attractions and evening activities geared for kids.
The program takes place at the Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown, and guests are encouraged to register for both conferences and stay for the entire weekend. Applications for Camp Victory closed March 19th.
