On the second Friday of October each year, it’s World Egg Day: when the world comes together to celebrate and tell everyone, from consumers to health professionals, about the big benefits that go with eating eggs.
World Egg Day was introduced by the International Egg Commission in 1996. The event has grown in stature and spread around the globe. It is now celebrated with special events in an ever increasing number of countries from the Americas to Mongolia, Australia to China and all over Europe.

- Egg festivals
- Celebrity chef & cooking competitions
- Special recipe promotions
- Children’s events
