International Bacon Day or Bacon Day is an unofficial observance, often celebrated on the Saturday before US Labor Day (the first Monday of September). Some cultures, however, celebrate on December 30th, while others celebrate the day on the first Saturday in January after the new year.
Bacon day celebrations typically include social gatherings during which participants create and consume dishes containing bacon, including bacon-themed breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts. Bacon Day gatherings may also include the consumption of soy bacon or turkey bacon.
Bacon Day was conceived in 2004 by a group of CU Boulder (Colorado) graduate students.
