1. World Milk Day - 1 June
The United Nations started World Milk Day in 2001 to recognize the importance of milk as a global food and to celebrate the dairy sector. Each year since, the benefits of milk and dairy products have been actively promoted around the world, including how dairy supports the livelihoods of one billion people.
This year’s theme will highlight the work already being done to accelerate climate action and help reduce the dairy sector’s impact on the planet. Using the World Milk Day platform, the aim is to raise awareness of the messaging and action towards Dairy Net-Zero.

3. Cheese Day - 4th June
I love cheese! Probably more than chocolate. Cheesemaking is an ancient, some might even say sacred, craft. In fact, it’s so old it predates recorded history. It’s speculated that the magic of cheesemaking began somewhere around 8000BCE shortly after the domestication of animals.

5. Yo-Yo Day - 6th June
It seems like yo-yos have been around forever and it’s true as some people think they were invented over 2,000 years ago! Some believe it all started in ancient Greece, but modern yo-yos more likely came from the Philippines. The word ‘yo-yo’ first appeared in a Filipino dictionary in 1860.
They became popular in the USA in the 1930s. Pedro Flores (of Filipino descent) began mass producing yo-yos in 1928. After holding some promotional competitions, he caught the eye of Donald F. Duncan Sr, who thought they were awesome! Duncan bought Flores out, hired him to run the marketing campaigns, and the rest is history. Find out more about yo-yo day here.
6. World Food Safety Day - 7th June
The World Health Organisation campaigns for food safety and access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food. Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances can cause more than 200 different diseases – ranging from diarrhoea to cancers. Around the world, an estimated 600 million – almost 1 in 10 people – fall ill after eating contaminated food each year. A staggering number!
7. National Best Friends Day - 8th June
A special day in the USA which is catching on around the world through social media. It’s time to tell your best friends how much you appreciate their company. As the Mayo Clinic reports: “Friends help you cope with traumas, such as divorce, serious illness, job loss, or the death of a loved one.” Today’s the day to enjoy a little one-on-one time with the people who never fail to catch us when we fall.
8. Empathy Day - 10th June

9. World Gin Day - 11th June
The idea is simple: get people together all around the world and raise a glass to the brilliant spirit that is gin. Whether it’s in a cocktail, a G&T or neat as part of a tasting, it’s a time to celebrate this wonderful juniper-laced spirit in all its glory! I’m currently obsessed with a Portuguese gin called Sharish - follow them at https://www.instagram.com/sharish_gin/.

10. International Falafel Day - 12th June
On this day, falafel lovers come together to celebrate International Falafel Day. It’s also a day to encourage people who have never eaten falafel to give it a try. If you want to make it yourself, try this authentic recipe https://www.themediterraneandish.com/how-to-make-falafel/.
In case you don’t know what it is, falafel is a deep-fried ball made from ground chickpeas. It can also be flat or a doughnut-shaped patty. Other ingredients might include onions and spices, such as cumin or coriander. Some people eat falafel on its own while others stuff it inside a pita and eat it as a wrap. Because falafel doesn’t contain any meat or dairy, the food is a favourite among vegetarians and vegans.

Flag Day is a celebration of the American flag that occurs each year on the anniversary of the flag’s official adoption. Known as the Stars and Stripes, it was adopted as the official American flag on June 14, 1777, in the midst of the Revolutionary War.
The first American flag was designed to represent the 13 original colonies with 13 white stars on a blue field and 13 alternating red and white stripes. One of the first flag designs had the stars arranged in a circle, based on the idea that all colonies were equal. Today, there are 50 stars, one for each state in the union, but the 13 stripes remain.

They come in all shades and colours, beaded, bejewelled, and bedazzled. Some are made of leather and cork.
