America is set to celebrate National Doughnut Day, which has a rich history of 88 years.
The annual fiesta is celebrated on the first Friday in June, and this time it falls on Friday, June 5, 2026.
The very first-ever National Doughnut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938.
The day was observed in honoring the Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies.
During World War I, a group of female volunteers was sent to France in 1917 to look after the wounded soldiers and serve them with doughnuts and coffee.
Since then the day is marked with brands offering free and discounted doughnuts across the U.S.
You might hardly find anyone who would refuse a crunchy donut, so here’s a breakdown of places where you can get one for free or at discounted prices.
