Asexual Awareness Week was first celebrated in 2010 and aims to bring awareness to asexual or Ace people in the LGBT+ community.

It was founded to support and celebrate asexuality and grey asexuality by Asexual advocate Sara Beth Brooks in 2010.

In 2020 Asexual Awareness Week takes place on the last full week of October, meaning it will take place between 25th to the 31st of October (Sunday to Saturday)
