World Egg Day 2024 - United by eggs

World Egg Day was established at Vienna 1996, when it was decided to celebrate the power of the egg on the second Friday in October each year. Since then, egg fans around the world have thought up new creative ways to honour this incredible nutrient powerhouse, and the day of celebration has grown and evolved over time.

This year’s World Egg Day theme ‘United by eggs’ celebrates how the incredible egg can connect and unite people from all corners of the globe.

Eggs can be found in cuisines across our planet’s cultures and countries, showcasing their universal appeal and essential role in global nutrition.

As well as being an environmentally friendly animal protein source and their abundance of nutritional benefits, eggs have the power to bring people together. They can play a crucial role in fostering cross cultural understanding and promoting solidarity within communities across the world.

We hope that this year’s theme inspires everyone, no matter your location, specialism or area of expertise, to celebrate how we can be #UnitedByEggs.
