National Bao Day
August 22, 2025-August 22, 2025 -
USA, USA
The story begins with Wow Bao, a restaurant that decided to honor these steamed buns. They opened their doors in 2003, bringing bao to the masses in Chicago. Fast forward to 2017, and they thought, “Why not have a whole day dedicated to bao?”
And just like that, National Bao Day was born. This day is about celebrating a rich Chinese tradition that dates back centuries.
Would you believe bao has existed since the 3rd century CE? That’s a lot of years of bun innovation! With its roots in China, bao has traveled the globe, making friends far and wide, thanks to its versatile nature.
Now, every year on August 22nd, folks from all walks of life come together to celebrate bao in all its forms. Restaurants whip out the deals, kitchens turn into bao-making stations, and social media lights up with #NationalBaoDay.
It’s a day where everyone can be a bao connoisseur, trying out new flavors and perhaps even mastering the art of bao making.
