Jour du Macaron - The Day of the Macaron! Wednesday 20th March
On Wednesday 20th March macarons get their very own special day - le Jour du Macaron! First established in Paris, (of course), Macaron Day is now celebrated in a growing number of cities each year, including New York, Budapest, Toronto, Portland and others! We have macaron hero, Pierre Hermé, to thank for the day of the macaron, and you can even achieve your good deed for the day while indulging! For 2019, a box of five macarons will be available, with proceeds going to help children in Madagascar. So now you can indulge your sweet tooth with a very happy conscience!
