What do you do on the first Friday of June? Celebrate National Donut Day. This year it will be on June 7, 2024
This is not an anniversary commemorating the first donuts in America concocted by Dutch immigrants in the 17th century. National Donut Day exists since 1938. Chicago’s Salvation Army created the day to honor the women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. Sometimes, these women would even come all the way to France to supply American soldiers with donuts.
This day is mainly celebrated in the United States and in Canada.
Nowadays, bakers take advantage of this holiday to offer their customers exceptional deals, or create new recipes, icings or toppings that are out of the ordinary.
