Friday, June 4, is National Donut Day. The annual celebration happens every first Friday of June. It was first created by The Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 to honor its members who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I.
Many donut shops offer free donuts or specials on National Donut Day including a few in the Mile High City.
Here are ten Denver donut shops to check out on National Donut Day:
This local family-owned donut shop has been in the Greenwood Village community for over 30 years. They will be giving out free donuts on Friday, no purchase necessary!
Check out any of their Colorado locations for a hot cup of coffee and one of their specialty donuts like the Cinnamon roll Butterfly, Cronut Holes, and Croissant Donut Bar.
If you're looking for something a little different this National Donut Day, the new Dochi location in Denver's RiNo Art District is a great option. The location just opened on May 29.
Based in Denver, the Beet Box makes their donuts from scratch without dairy, meat, or eggs.
This donut shop has become an iconic fixture in American food with their Bacon Maple Bar and the Portland Cream. There are currently two Denver locations to check out on Colfax and one on Broadway.
This beloved donut shop offers a delicious selection of donuts including the maple long john, the maple bacon ring, the cinnamon pine cone, and more.
A Denver favorite, LaMar's donuts have been described as "the ultimate indulgence, purely heaven, tender and airy, sinfully good, fit for kings." For National Donut Day, gift cards purchased at the store will receive a discount and entry into the LaMar's Donuts Sweepstake.
The LaMar's Donuts Sweepstake is offering up to one year of free donuts! To sweeten the deal, on #nationaldonutday...

Habit Doughnuts has two Denver locations, one at Platte St and another at California St. Their menu feature different donuts depending on the day of the week. Their daily donuts include the I'm Just Glazed, the Blazed, the Plain Jane, and the Feed My Habit.
“These are doughnuts that will take you back to your childhood, with scores of cake, raised and so-called fancy offerings (think bear claws and cream-filled bars) to please everyone," boasts their website. Check out one of their three locations in Denver, Littleton, and Aurora.
