People of NH, Rejoice: Free Cone Day at DQ Makes a Sweet Comeback

Is there anything better than free ice cream? Allow me to answer my own question real quick,: NO! There is not.

According to the website Mashed, the annual Free Cone Day has been a first-day-of-spring tradition at DQ since 2006 (that's when I graduated high school – great year, by the way).

Unfortunately for Dairy Queen soft serve enthusiasts, the pandemic put a real damper on Free Cone Day, and we didn't get to celebrate for a few years. Dairy Queen explained to their fans on their Facebook back in 2021 that given the "long lines" the annual event tends to attract (people love their ice cream, especially when it's free), it didn't adhere to the Covid-19 guidelines that were in place at that time. But since 2022, it has been back, and this year is no different!

On March 19, Free Cone Day will be coming to a DQ near you.

Head to your local Dairy Queen and redeem your free vanilla soft serve cone!
