Posted by: Hamburgers are beloved by Americans, whether you enjoy a Big Mac or a fancy Wagyu beef burger. The meaty sandwich even gets its own holiday on May 28, 2025 — National Hamburger Day. It’s a fitting way to top off May as National Burger Month.
The day of the burger perfectly aligns with Memorial Day, a holiday weekend when many grills are fired up at a holiday cookout for what else? Hamburgers!
Don’t confuse National Hamburger Day in May with National Cheeseburger Day in September! Burger lovers have two holidays to enjoy savings on the iconic and popular meaty sandwich.
You can celebrate National Hamburger Day with deals, discounts and freebies from various restaurants.
Plus, many locally owned restaurants and other businesses may offer deals on the big, juicy day, so check your local Living on the Cheap network site for deals in your area.
