Where to Go for Free Doughnuts on National Doughnut Day

Have a sweet tooth? You're going to like Friday, June 6 — it's National Doughnut Day!

No sooner had I come back to the house with a medium coffee and a doughnut than I remembered — the first Friday in June is an important day!

National Doughnut Day is Friday, June 6, and there's free doughnuts in it for you! What better way to start the weekend?
Dunkin' Donuts

Customers get a free doughnut when they buy any beverage at participating Dunkin' Donuts on Friday.

Krispy Kreme

Well Connecticut, if you're traveling out of state on National Doughnut Day, you can stop by participating Krispy Kreme shops and get a free doughnut, no purchase necessary. 

But if you're going to be in the Nutmeg state, Krispy Kreme's offer does not extend to Connecticut.

The History

Doughnut Day has its roots in the 1930s — it was created by the Salvation Army, to honor those who served doughnuts to soldiers called to war. (Video by The Salvation Army USA)
