World Chocolate Day

World Chocolate Day is celebrated every year on 7 July 2026, a global treat day that marks our shared love of chocolate. It is the perfect, deliciously simple reason to bring people together for a good cause.

When is World Chocolate Day?

World Chocolate Day is held in July (July 7). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.

Why World Chocolate Day matters

Behind every bar is a global supply chain that relies on cocoa farmers, many of whom face poverty and unfair pay. A day built around chocolate is a chance to celebrate fairly traded products and raise funds for the causes you care about. Explore community support volunteering.
