McDonald’s will be offering free breakfast sandwiches Monday to celebrate a new national food holiday — National Egg McMuffin Day.

What’s going on?

  • McDonald’s will hold its first ever National Egg McMuffin Day on Monday, March 2.
  • David Tovar, McDonald’s vice president of U.S. communications, said in a statement: “While we’re giving the Egg McMuffin its moment, we’re really honoring our breakfast fans who have woken up with McDonald’s breakfast for nearly 50 years. And we just thought, ‘hey, why not declare March 2 as National Egg McMuffin Day?’”

Why it matters:

How to get your free Egg McMuffin:

  • Visit your local McDonald’s between 6 and 10:30 a.m. local time on Monday.
  • Download the McDonald’s app and sign up for an account.
  • That’s literally all.
