  • National Hot Dog Day is Wednesday, July 15, the third Wednesday of July.
  • Dog Haus will give Haus Rewards members a free dog via their app.
  • Foodies serves four hot dog styles with chips, fries, tots or soup at two Tri‑Cities.

While many may think of the Fourth of July as hot dog’s associated holiday — take Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest as evidence — the food actually has a holiday all its own.

This year, National Hot Dog Day falls on Wednesday, July 15th.

Each year, the date changes, but always lands on the third Wednesday of July.
