National French Fry Day 2023: Get free food or deals at McDonald''s, Burger King and Wendy''s Mike Snider USA TODAY
National French Fry Day is upon us. And this fictitious food holiday is so special, you can celebrate it over two days – or more. For years, National French Fry Day was observed on July 13. But last year, fast-food chains Checkers & Rally''s gathered online petition signatures asking the arbiter of "fun, unusual, and unique" national days, the National Day Calendar, to move National French Fry Day to the second Friday in July. That way, the day would always fall on a Fry-day (get it?). National Day Calendar founder Marlo Anderson agreed. "I, in good conscience, cannot ignore the voice of the people, who simply want to ''fry-ght'' a wrong that''s been in place for far too long," he said at the time. "National Fry Day, you are and will forevermore be on a Friday." That means this year, National French Fry Day falls on Friday, July 14. But not all French fry purveyors have bought into the change. Some, including McDonald''s and Smashburger, are offering deals on Thursday, July 13. And a few such as Checkers and Rally''s, Fatburger and Wendy''s have giveaways that last beyond Friday.
