About Sweetest Day 2026
Sweetest Day falls on the third Saturday of October each year, bringing a touch of Valentine's Day warmth to the autumn season — a day to share candy, gifts, and kind gestures with the people you care about most. Originally established in 1921 by Cleveland candy company employee Herbert Birch Kingston, who distributed sweets to orphans and those in need, it has grown into a beloved regional tradition across the Great Lakes states including Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
