We know what you’re thinking — another food holiday ? But it’s National Guacamole Day, and you can’t tell us you don’t get excited when you get a side of guac for free. Don't confuse National Guacamole Day with National Avocado Day on July 31; they're two separate events.
What can you expect National Guacamole Day in 2026? Thanks to plenty of restaurant deals, we'll have the chance to feast on guacamole for free. Here are all the freebies and discounts we expect next year, based on what we saw during the last event.
Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.
National Guacamole Day is a 1-day annual event with free and cheap guacamole.
Every year on Sept. 16, we celebrate guacamole alongside Mexican Independence Day. You'll likely see 1-day offers for free guac at Mexican-style restaurants. In the past we've seen deals at Qdoba, Chipotle, Moe's Southwest Grill, and On the Border. While we expect deals at large chains, also check your local restaurants.
The next National Guacamole Day will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026.
National Guacamole Day falls on Sept. 16 each year. That means in 2026 the celebration will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026.
