Is Dairy Queen giving away free ice cream today? How to get a free cone at Dairy Queen

Breaking ice cream news: today is the greatest day of the year, because it’s free cone day at Dairy Queen. Which is amazing news, but how do you get the free ice cream Dairy Queen is giving away today? We’ve got all the answers you want in this very article.

But first, some basic info.

Is today free cone day at Dairy Queen?

It sure is, friendo. Today is the first day of Spring, March 19, 2024, and in celebration Dairy Queen is celebrating their own holiday: free cone day. Which is a better day that “first day of Spring” to be quite honest.

The delicious dessert chain said as much on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Is it really the first day of spring if we don’t have Free Cone Day?? Kick off treat szn with a FREE small cone at participating DQ locations on March 19.”

Added Maria Hokanson, executive vice president, marketing at ADQ, via a press release: “Nothing says warmer weather is around the corner quite like Free Cone Day. We’re inviting fans everywhere to grab their friends and families and get their ‘Treat Szn’ started with something sweet – on us!”

How to get a free cone at Dairy Queen:

That’s all well and good, but how do you get a free cone at Dairy Queen? Do you just walk in and say “I demand satisfaction!” and they’ll know what you’re talking about? Or is it one of those classic “spend $1000 and we’ll give you a free cone, but no ice cream” type deals?

The answer is, there’s no catch, actually. Just walk into a participating Dairy Queen and they’ll give you one free small vanilla soft serve ice cream cone, while supplies last.

Okay, fine, there are a few catches. They won’t be given out at Dairy Queen mall locations, only in the US, and this deal is not valid on delivery or mobile orders. But at least until the sun sets on free cone day, you too can get a free ice cream cone at Dairy Queen in most locations.

Enjoy the weather – and the ice cream!
