America must celebrate National Donut Day, which has a rich history of 88 years.
The annual fiesta is celebrated on the first Friday of June, and this time it falls on Friday, June 5, 2026.
The very first ever National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938.
The day was observed in honor of the Salvation Army Donut Lassies.
During the First World War, a group of female volunteers was sent to France in 1917 to care for the wounded soldiers and serve them donuts and coffee.
Since then, the day has been marked with brands offering free and discounted donuts across the United States
