A much-beloved oval pastry now has a day of its own in Wisconsin.

Gov. Tony Evers proclaimed June 30, 2026, as Wisconsin Kringle Day, declaring kringle "a staple in many Wisconsin homes for birthdays, holidays, or everyday breakfast."

"More than just a pastry, the kringle symbolizes Wisconsin’s deep-rooted traditions of community, bringing together family, friends and neighbors to share the classic dessert that honors the state’s cultural identity and supports local businesses," Evers' proclamation reads.

The date was chosen because it's the same day that kringle became Wisconsin's state pastry in 2013, Evers said in a Facebook post.

The pastry traces its roots back to Danish immigrants who settled in Wisconsin in the 19th century, according to Evers' proclamation.

"The kringle was perfected in Wisconsin, including by uncrossing its traditional pretzel pattern into the iconic shape it's known for today," reads the proclamation.

What is the Wisconsin's connection to kringle?

Danish settlers who came to Wisconsin, and specifically Racine, in the 1840s helped introduce the kringle to the area, the Journal Sentinel previously reported.

However, no single bakery made kringle famous. Kringle can now be found around the world, though it is sometimes a little hard to find. 

“It’s still relatively unknown,” Eric Olesen, president of the popular O&H Danish Bakery in Racine, told the Journal Sentinel in 2023. “It’s a big country. A lot of foodies might know it, but I don’t think it’s quite up there with brats and cheese.”
