International Day of the Mediterranean Diet is coming up.

About International Day of the Mediterranean Diet

International Day of the Mediterranean Diet is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2026 it falls on a Monday; in 2027 it’s on Tuesday 16 November, and in 2028 on Thursday 16 November. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in November 2026: International Day for Tolerance (16 Nov), National Fast Food Day (16 Nov) and Doctors’ Day (South Africa) (16 Nov). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
