Fun Foodie Holidays in October

Happy Foodie Friday! This week I decided to share a list of food-based holidays found in October. I know October isn’t here yet, but it soon will be. How else will we celebrate these holidays if we don’t know about them ahead of time? And don’t we need time to prepare?

I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of National months and days. Who creates these holidays? Why do they create them? And most of all, how do they celebrate these days? To celebrate a few of these holidays, I will be compiling posts for the month. That way you can celebrate as well.

I compiled this list of holidays from a much more extensive list over at National Day Calendar.

Is it me or do some of these holidays just demand to be celebrated? Taco Day and Cinnamon Bun Day on the same day? Yes please! And the monthly celebrations of cookies, pizza, and pasta? Sounds like a fun month! Of course we have to toss in some apples to keep it a bit healthy, right?

Which food holiday are you looking forward to celebrating? Are there any you would like me to create a post around?
