National Blueberry Muffin Day

Celebrated on 07/11/2026

Quick Fact

National Blueberry Muffin Day is celebrated on July 11th each year. Blueberry muffins are the official state muffin of Minnesota, designated in 1988 after a third-grade class from South St. Paul petitioned the state legislature.

Origins and Establishment of National Blueberry Muffin Day

National Blueberry Muffin Day was established by the Blueberry Muffin Company in 1995 to promote the enjoyment of blueberry muffins. The date July 11 was chosen to coincide with the peak of the blueberry harvest season in North America, ensuring fresh berries for baking. The day gained popularity through social media and food blogs in the early 2000s.

Evolution and Modern Commemoration

Initially a small promotional event, National Blueberry Muffin Day has grown into a nationwide celebration. Bakeries and cafes offer special discounts or free muffins, while home bakers share recipes online. The day is also used to highlight the health benefits of blueberries, which are rich in antioxidants. In recent years, gluten-free and vegan blueberry muffin variations have become popular.
