How many days until June 5
The Salvation Army created National Donut Day in 1938 in Chicago to honor the “Donut Lassies” who fried doughnuts for US troops in World War I. Chains still run free-doughnut promotions on that Friday.
World Environment Day, set by the UN, is always June 5. It is a civic education day, not a US holiday. The overlap in 2026 (Friday) is a coincidence of the weekday rule.
| Year | June 5 weekday | National Donut Day |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Friday | Same day |
| 2027 | Saturday | Friday June 4 |
| 2028 | Monday | Friday June 2 |
