Dairy Queen Is Giving Away Free Ice Cream To Celebrate The First Day Of Spring

Because somehow spring has become synonymous with ice cream giveaways, Dairy Queen is shelling out free soft serve on March 20 in honor of spring’s arrival.

For the third consecutive year, Dairy Queen locations nationwide will be giving away a free small ice cream cone (if you ask nicely, perhaps they’ll dip it for you?), while collecting donations for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Over the past 32 years, DQ has raised more than $120 million for CMNH. Last year, they raised more than $200,000 in a single day.

Ben & Jerry’s announced recently that they’ll be giving away free cones on April 4. And Haagen-Dazs should be announcing their free cone day any moment now (last year it was May 10).
