About National Veggie Burger Day
National Veggie Burger Day is observed on June 5 as a food-focused occasion for trying or sharing meatless burger options.
National Day Calendar attributes the observance to Amy’s Kitchen, while an Amy’s Kitchen press release confirms that the company actively celebrated the day on June 5, 2017.
Why National Veggie Burger Day matters
The day is a simple invitation to explore the wide range of patties sold or prepared as veggie burgers, from vegetable- and bean-based recipes to other plant-based formulations.
“Veggie burger” does not describe one nutritional profile. Ingredients, allergens, sodium, protein and other nutrition details vary by recipe and product, so the observance should not be framed as a blanket health claim.
History of National Veggie Burger Day
National Day Calendar says Amy’s Kitchen founded National Veggie Burger Day and that its registrar declared June 5 as the annual date.
Amy’s Kitchen’s own June 2, 2017 press release calls the June 5, 2017 celebration the “second annual National Veggie Burger Day” and describes Amy’s Kitchen and Amy’s Drive Thru events.
Because the registry account says the day was founded in 2017 while Amy’s first-party release calls 2017 the second annual edition, this guide preserves the conflict instead of asserting a founding year or exact first edition.

How to Observe National Veggie Burger Day
Try a veggie burger you have not had before or make one at home from ingredients you enjoy.
Compare ingredient and allergen labels if you are choosing among packaged products for different dietary needs.
Host a small taste test and focus on flavor, texture and cooking method rather than assuming every plant-based burger has the same nutrition profile.
Follow package directions or a tested recipe for storage, preparation and cooking.
