Here’s How You Can Celebrate ‘World Arepa Day’ This Weekend

Whether you’re Venezuelan or Colombian, I have yet to find someone who doesn’t love the delicious dish that arepas are. This month, arepas have their own — and very special — day on Saturday, September 10, and you can join in on the celebration.

Originally promoted by the organization Venezolanos en el Mundo (VenMundo) during an event to support Venezuelans in 2012, “World Arepa Day” is now celebrated each year on the second Saturday of September.   

‘World Arepa Day’ promotes peace

VenMundo is dedicating this year’s special day to promoting peace with the slogan “Una AREPA por la PAZ.” The organization is encouraging social media users to participate by taking photos (or videos) and sharing them on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok using the hashtags #DíaMundialDeLaArepa, #UnaArepaPorLaPaz, or #WorldArepaDay.

If you’d like to celebrate “World Arepa Day” at a local restaurant, here are some options of places where you can find this dish around the country.
