When is National Bologna Day Celebrated: This holiday is always observed on October 24
National Bologna Day, an October 24 holiday, is full of baloney! Properly spelled Bologna, it is sometimes spelled “Baloney”. It is pronounced like the latter spelling. Bologna is a sausage.

Quite surprisingly, you just might find this on a restaurant lunch menu.
