National Macaron Day, celebrated annually on March 20th, honors the delicate, colorful French pastry beloved for its airy texture and exquisite flavors. These elegant confections consist of two almond-flour meringue shells joined by a delicious filling, such as creamy ganache, fruity jam, or velvety buttercream. On this sweet occasion, bakeries and patisseries showcase a rainbow of macarons, inviting pastry lovers to indulge in traditional favorites like raspberry, pistachio, or chocolate, alongside creative new combinations. Beyond celebrating taste and beauty, many bakeries mark National Macaron Day by donating a portion of sales to charitable causes, making it a sweet celebration with a meaningful impact.
