National Hot Dog Day is a yearly, day-long event full of free and cheap hot dogs.
On National Hot Dog Day, lots of restaurants celebrate hot dogs by offering special deals and promotions — making hot dogs cheap or even free. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council started Hot Dog Day for a Capitol Hill hot dog lunch in 1991, and it has been happening every July since.
The next National Hot Dog Day will take place on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
You can count on it — the third Wednesday of July every year is National Hot Dog Day. So that means next year, National Hot Dog Day will happen on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
