Dairy Queen Is Back With ‘Free Cone Day’ This Month: What To Know
Dairy Queen is celebrating the first day of spring with its annual Free Cone Day. The chain shared on its Instagram announcement, “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.”
“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!” stated Maria Hokanson, executive vice president, of marketing at ADQ.
How to score your free cone at Dairy Queen?
No other purchase is necessary to claim your free cone. Just go to a DQ location on March 19. The offer is not valid on delivery or mobile orders. The cone being offered is a small vanilla soft-serve cone, featuring the iconic DQ curl on the top.
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.
