National Cheese Curd Day is observed on October 15 every year, primarily in the United States and Canada. This food holiday was established by the American restaurant chain Culver’s, which is known for its deep-fried cheese curds made from Wisconsin cheese. On this day, people celebrate by enjoying deep-fried cheese curds, fresh cheese curds, or dishes like poutine, which features cheese curds atop french fries and gravy. A notable tradition initiated by Culver’s in 2021 is the CurderBurger, a burger topped with a deep-fried cheese curd patty, which became popular after a social media campaign. Cheese curds are especially favored in northern regions of the U.S. and Canada, where they can be served with various flavorings or as snacks at fairs and restaurants. Celebrations often include sharing experiences on social media using the hashtag #NationalCheeseCurdDay.
