The free offer is valid at participating U.S. locations, while supplies last. It's worth mentioning that there is a limit of one cone per person, per day. So, you can only get one cone.

DQ's Free Cone Day is a favorite for many. Some people took to the food chain’s Instagram to share in on the excitement. "Yas my moms birthday, the perfect birthday treat/gift," someone said. Another person expressed how bum they are because they have to miss the annual celebration. "So sad [crying emoji] I’ll miss this, I’ll be on my honeymoon [crying emoji]," they shared. One person is all for the spring celebration but wants to take a step further by skipping ahead a season. They wrote, "Perfect day to transition to summer flavors."

ABC reported that the annual Free Cone Day has been a "start-of-spring" tradition at DQ since 2006. In 2022, Free Cone Day made its official return after 2 years of cancellations due to COVID-19.
