Burgers are so popular that they don't just have one "burger day" a year. There are basically three burger days observed every year.  There's International Burger Day in May, and another random Burger Day in December.  Burger Day is coming up Thursday, August 25th. That is the main burger day in the UK and is widely celebrated here in the U.S. as well.

There is also a National Cheeseburger Day. We celebrate that day on September 18th.
