International Bacon Day

International Bacon Day is observed annually on the Saturday before Labor Day in the United States, which is typically the first Saturday of September.

The observance is widely credited to a group of graduate students at the University of Colorado Boulder, who promoted it in 2004.

The day celebrates bacon as a popular food and encourages people to enjoy bacon-themed meals, recipes, and social gatherings.

It is marked through food festivals, cookouts, restaurant promotions, cooking competitions, and community celebrations dedicated to bacon.
