World Chocolate Day, sometimes referred to as International Chocolate Day,[1][2] or just Chocolate Day,[3] is an annual celebration of chocolate,[4] occurring globally on July 7,[5][4] which some suggest to be the anniversary of the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550.[1][6] The observance of World Chocolate Day dates back to 2009.[7]

Other Chocolate Day celebrations exist, such as National Chocolate Day in the United States on 28 October.[8] The U.S. National Confectioners Association lists 13 September as International Chocolate Day,[8] coinciding with the birth date of Milton S. Hershey (September 13, 1857).[9][10][11] Ghana, the second largest producer of cocoa, celebrates Chocolate Day on February 14.[12] In Latvia, World Chocolate Day is celebrated on July 11.[13]
The U.S. National Confectioners Association lists four primary chocolate holidays on their calendar[8] (Chocolate Day (July 7), two National Chocolate Days (October 28 and December 28), and International Chocolate Day (September 13)[14]), in addition to variants such as National Milk Chocolate Day, National White Chocolate Day, and National Cocoa Day.
