National Hamburger Day happens every year on May 28.

National Hamburger Day is celebrated on May 28 every year simply as a designated day to honor and enjoy one of America's favorite foods — the hamburger. There’s nothing particularly significant about May 28, except for its proximity to Memorial Day — the unofficial start of summer and grilling season in the United States. 

In 2024, National Hamburger Day takes place on Tuesday, May 28.
