Tuesday, October 6, 2026, is National TACO Day!
One thing society has been able to agree on, is that National TACO day should be ON A TUESDAY. So National Taco Day has been moved to the first Tuesday in October.
I don’t know who decides to just move National Days around all willy-nilly, but Taco Bell gets credit for doing their 2024 Taco Day deal on Tuesday, rather than the long held date of October 4th and now, everyone else has followed.
