From Classic Favorites to Island-Inspired Twists, Here’s Where to Celebrate on September 18

Few foods can turn an ordinary Friday into a celebration quite like a cheeseburger, especially when it comes with an island-inspired twist, a cold drink and a chance to win something FINtastic. 

National Cheeseburger Day lands on Friday, September 18, 2026, and Margaritaville destinations across coast to coast are firing up the grills for the occasion. From buy-one-get-one deals and innovative burger concoctions to live music, family activities and getaway packages, there are plenty of ways to amend your carnivorous habits. 

Here is where you can get yours with lettuce and tomato, or whatever else your heart desires:
