National Taco Day kicks off the month on October 1st, and this year, it’s extra special because it falls on a Tuesday—Taco Tuesday!
Earlier this month, Taco Bell and the National Day Calendar announced that National Taco Day, previously celebrated on October 4th, will always take place on the first Tuesday in October. This change comes after Taco John‘s dropped its trademark on “Taco Tuesday” following disputes over its ownership. Taco Bell even started an online petition to free the name for all restaurants.
“For years, we celebrated National Taco Day on October 4th, but there was a greater opportunity to link it with something even more exciting—Taco Tuesday,” said Marlo Anderson, founder of the National Day Calendar. He described this new alignment as “the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays.”
This year, taco deals are available on October 1st and October 4th, as well as throughout the month. Here’s where and how to grab those deals!
