National Avocado Day is Friday, July 31st, 2020. Don’t confuse this with National Guacamole Day, which will take place Wednesday, September 16th, 2020.
On National Avocado Day we pay homage to the avocado, whether in the form of guacamole, or on toast, on a sandwich, or eaten just with a little bit of salt.

Fun Facts about Avocados
We learned these fun facts from California Avocados.
- To speed up the ripening process, put the avocado in a paper bag and store it at room temperature
- It’ll ripen quicker if you put an apple or a kiwi in the bag
- You can store ripe avocados in the refrigerator for two or three days as long as you didn’t cut them
- If you did cut the avocado, sprinkle it with lemon juice, lime juice or white vinegar, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then refrigerate it
- You can make a face mask (the kind of moisturizing your skin, not the kind we’re all wearing now) from an avocado, mayonnaise, a lemon and some tea. Look at the recipe here.
