Unlike the eleven other months of the year, August is the one month that has no national holidays or notable annual events! Which means there's nothing around which we can try to tie-in any sort of food theme, as much of a stretch as it may seem. So in August, we rely on Food Holidays, many of which appropriately involve ice cream—from August 2 Ice Cream Sandwich Day to August 8 Frozen Custard Day, from August 14 Creamsicle Day to August 14 Ice Cream Pie Day, and many more!
Check out the "holidays" below, calendar format first, list after. Some fun recipes included to help you celebr-eat!
Happy August!
And when you're ready and set, go plan ahead with the September Food Holidays calendar!
