This is such an amazing resource. I’m a food marketeer and totally agree that this is an awesome tool. My husband is French so I had a look on some french websites and found the following:
24 Feb – International Barmen Day
6 May – International No Diet Day
14 Aug – International Rosé wine Day
7 Sept – World Salami Day
13 Sept- World Peanut Day
20 Oct – International Cooks Day
26 Oct – World Pasta Day
There were lots more days that I think were only in France. My favourite was 16 Jan – hot & spicy food day!
Charlotte Oates says
Thanks so much for this Amanda. I’ve quickly added the October events in and I’ll look at adding the others over the next few days.

Oops – serves me right for copying the 2016 calendar and changing the dates as I missed one. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll fix it now.

This is really useful Charlotte, thank you for compiling. I am a campaign partner for Food Standards Agency, could you please add Food Safety Week 3rd to 10th July 2016? possibly too late now. I am running a marketing strategies for Food businesses seminar on Tuesday and will be sharing your calendar and hashtag there.
Charlotte Oates says
Hi Hazel, I’ve added it to my calendar. It’s been on my list to add for a while but I hadn’t been able to find any details (including dates) when I googled it so couldn’t add it in.
Daniel says
Really useful, helped me put together a marketing calendar.
Charlotte Oates says
Excellent. I add new events in every month as I find them or dates for events are confirmed so keep checking back.
Mandy says
Just stumbled across this while searching for something else – so useful! Thanks so much for putting together. X
