World Egg Day
World Egg Day was established in Vienna in 1996, when it was decided that the power of the egg would be celebrated on the second Friday in October each year.
In 2026, World Egg Day marks its 30th anniversary, celebrating three decades of recognising the egg’s incredible nutritional value and versatility.
Since its beginnings, egg lovers around the world have found creative ways to honour this nutrient powerhouse, and the global celebration continues to grow and evolve each year.
