Free Dairy Queen ice cream cones to celebrate the first day of Spring!

Enjoy the first day of spring the right way, with free ice cream!

Celebrate the first day of Spring on Wednesday, March 20, with a free small vanilla soft-serve cone with the signature curl on top at participating non-mall DQ and DQ Grill & Chill locations throughout the U.S.

“We love that our tradition of Free Cone Day has become synonymous with the return of warmer weather and bringing people together,” said Maria Hokanson, Executive Vice President of Marketing at ADQ. “We know the start of soft-serve season brings joy to our fans, and we can’t wait to help spread smiles.”

After Free Cone Day, DQ will be offering a small regular or dipped soft serve cone for 50 cents, which will be available only with the DQ mobile app from March 21-31.
