National Doughnut Day Pedestal Sign

It is celebrated on the first Friday of June each year. It’s a day dedicated to indulging in delicious doughnuts while honouring the history behind this sweet treat. Originally established in 1938 by The Salvation Army, the holiday pays tribute to the "Doughnut Lassies" who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. Today, it’s a fun and tasty celebration where doughnut shops often offer special deals, and people enjoy sharing their favourite doughnut flavours with friends and family.
