🍩 National Donut Day 2025: Forsyth County’s Sweetest Spots

Date: Friday, June 6, 2025

National Donut Day, celebrated on the first Friday in June, is a time to indulge in one of America’s favorite sweet treats. Forsyth County and nearby areas are home to fantastic donut shops, and this year they’re rolling out the red carpet with fun freebies and limited-time offers.

🎉 Why Celebrate National Donut Day?

This day dates back to 1938 when the Salvation Army created it to honor the ‘Donut Lassies’ who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. Today, we keep the tradition alive by visiting our favorite donut shops and treating ourselves to a little sugary joy. And, several local shops offer donuts with less sugar and some have gluten free options.
