National Donut Day
This year, National Donut Day 2025 will be celebrated on Friday, 6 June. It’s a great excuse to treat yourself, your team, or your mates to a box of sweet goodies and mark the occasion in a fun, light-hearted way.
Whether you're baking at home or getting something delivered, Australians all over the country are expected to join in the festivities - just like we do every year.
National Donut Day History
The first National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938, organised by The Salvation Army. It was created to honour the “Donut Lassies” (also known as “Donut Dollies”) - women who served freshly made donuts to American soldiers on the front lines of World War I.
The day also served as a fundraiser during the Great Depression, supporting those in need while recognising the kindness and effort of those wartime volunteers.
Today, the celebration lives on worldwide. In Australia, organisations and individuals continue to use the day to share joy and connect over a shared love for donuts.
