By the way, in some countries national holidays are dedicated to coffee. For example, in Italy, Coffee Day is celebrated on April 17, in Denmark on May 6, in Brazil on May 24, in Colombia on June 27, and in Switzerland on September 28.
International Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1 because it is during this period that the collection of coffee beans on the plantations begins. Although the holiday could be celebrated on a different date, since this drink is very popular in every country.

About 3 billion cups of coffee are consumed every day in the world - and this figure is constantly growing. But the International Coffee Organization decided to unite coffee producers, baristas and simply lovers of this drink. Therefore, since 2015, Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1. This celebration was joined by 77 member states of the International Coffee Organization and dozens of coffee associations from around the world.

Italy
Italians have a tradition to celebrate coffee day on April 17th. And the name of the holiday is different - Espresso Day. All Italian establishments join the celebration. Each establishment presents a vibrant celebration program: espresso tasting and baristas show competitions. The event is organized by the National Institute of Italian Espresso. And in order to celebrate this day, the institution must obtain permission from the authority.

Ireland
Ireland has National Coffee Day, celebrated on September 19th. It was here that the famous drink was created - Irish coffee. According to legend, in the small port town of Foynes, one of the chefs decided to create a drink to warm all passengers and sailors. He added a few drops of Irish whiskey to the coffee. Subsequently, the owner of one of the bars in San Francisco decided to bring the legendary drink back to life. He changed the form of serving (chose a glass cup with a thin stem) and added cream to it. This is how the well-known drink was created to all of us.

Japan
In Japan, as in Ukraine, Coffee Day is celebrated on October 1. Millions of Japanese people celebrate this day across the country. Interesting fact: it was in Japan that the first coffee celebration took place. Despite the fact that coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the country, local institutions create interesting entertainment for residents. For example, in the Yunessun complex on this day, an original interactive will be organized - a pool filled with coffee. And every visitor has the opportunity to swim in it. On October 1, Japan celebrates not only coffee day, but also the day of the traditional alcoholic drink - sake.

USA
Here, in general, even a small event can be turned into a holiday. This is also a marketing strategy, as sales of a particular product increase on this day. The same happened with coffee, which is celebrated here on September 29, starting in 2009. Although according to unofficial data, coffee day in the United States has been celebrated since 2005. But in 2009, New Orleans held the first Orleans Coffee Festival at the Museum of Food and Beverage. I liked this festival so much that since 2011 it has also hosted a coffee carnival. Not surprisingly, there are also other coffee-related celebrations in the United States - Coffee Ice Cream Day, Coffee Milk Shake Day.

UKRAINE
Coffee Day has been celebrated since 2007. There is no exact date, but it happens somewhere in the second half of September. In a special way, they relate to the day of coffee in Lviv, since Yuri Franz Kulchytskyi comes from this city. It was he who first brought coffee from Turkey to Europe, and also taught Europeans to drink this invigorating drink with sugar and milk. Coffee Day in Ukraine is celebrated vividly: fairs of coffee and utensils for this drink are held. And, barista championships are also held.
