Smack dab in the middle of hot dog season is a day to celebrate the frankfurter: National Hot Dog Day, which falls this year on Wednesday, July 16.
The time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is considered "hot dog season," according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Consumers buy about 38% of the year's hot dogs during that time, amassing sales of $1.16 billion, estimates the group.
During the pandemic, the council designated the third Wednesday in July – also known as National Hot Dog Month – as the day to celebrate the American classic.
