Your guide to celebrating October 6 2027
Skip to all 19 daysPut a stack of soft corn tortillas in the middle of the table and October 6 starts looking very promising. For National Taco Day, turn dinner into a build-your-own taco party with beans, vegetables, chicken or fish, plus the toppings everyone likes best. It works for a few friends or a table of one. If cooking is not on the agenda, visit a locally owned Mexican restaurant and let the professionals handle the tortillas.
Add a surprise second course for National Noodle Day. Pick a noodle variety you have never cooked or ordered before, then serve it as another pass-around dish. One minute you are folding a taco, the next you are trying to keep a runaway noodle off your shirt. Familiar ramen, spaghetti or egg noodles also work when you already know exactly what you want.
National Noodle Day
Spaghetti, ramen, ziti, egg noodles…most of the best foods are noodles. Try a new kind today, or go out and treat yourself to one of the world’s favorite dishes.
The dress code comes courtesy of National Mad Hatter Day. Make or wear a deliberately quirky hat, and encourage anyone joining you to do the same. An afternoon tea with an Alice in Wonderland mood can supply the playful finishing touch, even if tacos and noodles have wandered onto the table instead of tiny sandwiches. Harmless silliness is the point. Keep the hats on through dessert, especially if you finish with a fruit-filled dessert taco.
National Mad Hatter Day
Celebrate silliness on this day devoted to John Tenniel’s Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland by getting weird, hosting an afternoon tea, and enjoying life.
