Your Daily Excuse to Eat Local

Not sure what to eat today? A food holiday is a good place to start.

Eat Local Days helps you discover what’s being celebrated, find the date, and turn it into a reason to try a neighborhood restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, or market.

Find a reason to celebrate

• Browse by month or search for a favorite food.
• Check the holiday page for its date and ideas for celebrating.
• Make it local: try somewhere new or return to a neighborhood favorite.

Some food holidays have well-known founders. Others are traditions with less certain beginnings. Here’s how we check dates and sources.
