What ‘Food’ day is it today?

Sharing is caring!

A compendium of food and craft related ‘days’ to celebrate throughout the year!

Ever woken up and wondered what food day is it today? Or perhaps you run a social media page and sometimes struggle with thinking of the right foodie based content. Well fear no more! I have scoured the internet, calendars and a great page I found aptly called Days of the Year and collated a list of food/foodie inspired events happening throughout the year!

Below you will find each month with any moving events or monthly themes at the top followed by the days of the month.
