A detailed list of August food observances makes it easy for food content creators to brainstorm blog and email content ideas.
If you’re a food content creator and you’re looking for ideas for August content for your email newsletters or social media channels check out all of these August food holidays. There’s lots of ideas here and you can use them to brainstorm recipe ideas or come up with fun food videos for your YouTube channel. They also give you a great opportunity to share content from your archives.
There is quite literally a day for almost any type of food so you should be able to find suitable topics for your food blog’s niche!
Many of these observances are based on dates in the United States but are often celebrated in the food community at large. I’ve tried to note where a month, week or day is tied to a specific country other than the USA. And where a day is observed globally, that has been noted as well.
Some food observance dates do shift from year to year but these dates should be current for 2024
