International Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1st. It was first officially agreed upon by the Member States of the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in March 2014 to create a single day of celebration for coffee lovers around the world. The day is used to promote and celebrate coffee as a beverage, and many businesses offer free or discounted cups of coffee on this day. The theme for International Coffee Day 2023 was “promoting the right to a safe and healthy working environment in the coffee supply chain” . Many countries around the world celebrate their own national coffee days at various dates throughout the year.
