Hi Charlotte,
This is super useful. Thanks! I hope you don’t mind, but I took the liberty to add the dates to a Google Calendar and made it public so that I can share with my friends. I’ve added your hashtag in the description as well. You can find it here:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=nomenome.com_piaaijfpk92cmfdfal5jnu3uc0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/London
and can follow it via this iCal:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/nomenome.com_piaaijfpk92cmfdfal5jnu3uc0%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
If you like to add the events yourself, more than happy to add you as a contributor
Best
Danny

Lee Tate says
Hi Danny,
Awesome work. This is really useful for me adding these dates into my Google Calendar as I can theme my teaching on them.
Is the .ICS calendar being updated? Do the events repeat each year?
Many thanks
Nick Saulino says
Hello Charlotte,
Could you please add International Beer and Pizza Day to your list? It is celebrated October 9th each year, so, this Sunday. You can find more info about it on the official site: https://beerandpizzaday.com
Thank you!
Charlotte Oates says
Added. Thanks for letting me know about it.
Amanda says
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.
Cosette says
Fantastic list, as a restaurant marketeer this is an awesome tool to keep track of events. I think the only one I’d point out is National Burger Day – August 24th.
Many thanks for putting it together

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.
Charlotte says
This is a great tool for planning social media! Thanks Charlotte!
Charlotte Oates says
Thanks Charlotte, I’m glad you find it useful.
Hazel Langley says
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
