National Pretzel Day

April 26, Saturday

National Pretzel Day is celebrated in the United States every year on April 26 and is dedicated to this popular baked good. A pretzel is a traditional snack that is a spiral-shaped, salted bread, often coated in coarse salt. The day is celebrated with special attention to the history of the pretzel and its role in American culture.

Pretzels have a long history, dating back to ancient times. However, in their modern form, they are popular in Germany, and the tradition of making them was brought to the United States by German immigrants in the 19th century. In the United States, the pretzel has become one of the symbols of street food, especially in cities with a large German community, such as Philadelphia.
