National Kringle Day is celebrated every year on the last Saturday in June — a sweet summer holiday dedicated to one of Wisconsin’s most iconic pastries: the Kringle.

A Celebration of a Classic

With its buttery layers, rich fillings, and signature oval shape, Kringle is more than just a pastry — it’s a tradition. Originating in Denmark and perfected in Wisconsin, Kringle has become a year-round favorite and a must-have for holidays, celebrations, and everyday cravings.

National Kringle Day was founded by Don Wadewitz, whose love for this iconic pastry inspired a holiday that shines a well-deserved spotlight on Kringle. Thanks to his vision, what started as a local favorite is now celebrated far and wide.

Why the Last Saturday in June?

June is the month Wisconsin officially declared Kringle as the State Pastry — and honestly, we think it deserves more than a title. So, National Kringle Day was born as a way to bring people together over layers of tender dough, delicious fillings, and a shared love for something uniquely Wisconsin.
