Food Holidays for this date:
- National Cherry Tart Day (June 18)
A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savoury, though modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard. Tartlet refers to a miniature tart. Examples of tarts include jam tarts, which may be different colours depending on the flavour of the jam used to fill them, and the Bakewell tart.
The categories of 'tart', 'flan', and 'pie' overlap, with no sharp distinctions, though 'pie' is the more common term in the United States. The French word tarte can be translated to mean either pie or tart, as both are mainly the same with the exception of a pie usually covering the filling in pastry, while flans and tarts leave it open. The Italian crostata, dating to at least the mid-1400s, has been described as a "rustic free-form version of an open fruit tart".
- Early medieval tarts generally had meat fillings, but later ones were often based on fruit and custard.
- Tarte Tatin is an upside-down tart, of apples, other fruit, or onions.
- Savoury tarts include quiche, a family of savoury tarts with a mostly custard filling; German Zwiebelkuchen 'onion tart', and Swiss cheese tart made from Gruyere.
- It's traditional to bake a cherry tart on this day.

Holidays Around the World for this date:
- Autistic Pride Day (International)
Autistic Pride Day, an Aspies for Freedom initiative, is a celebration of the neurodiversity of people on the autism spectrum on June 18 each year. Autistic pride recognises the innate potential in all people, including those on the autism spectrum.
- Evacuation Day (Egypt)
Celebrates the final withdrawal of all British forces from Egypt on this date in 1956.
- Foundation Day (Benguet)
This special non-working holiday applies to the province of Benguet only.
- National Day (Seychelles)
(National Day: the return of a multiparty democracy to the Seychelles in 1993)
Note: The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or non-sovereign country. This nationhood can be symbolized by the date of independence, of becoming republic or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (birthday, accession, removal, etc.). Often the day is not called "National Day" but serves and can be considered as one. The National Day will often be a national holiday. See National Day
- Waterloo Day (United Kingdom)
Waterloo Day is 18 June, the date of the Battle of Waterloo, in 1815. It is remembered and celebrated each year by certain regiments of the British Army, in the same way that the Royal Navy celebrates Trafalgar Day (21 October).
