Ice cream cones are free at Colorado Dairy Queen’s on March 20th and there’s no catch

Mar 17, 2025, 4:25 PM | Updated: 7:27 pm

Thursday (Mar. 20) isn’t just the first day of  spring, for ice cream fans, it’s also free cone day at Dairy Queen. It’s one of my favorite “freebie days” because there’s no catch to this one…

To celebrate the start of spring, Dairy Queen is kicking off what it calls “treat szn” (treat season) by offering a free small vanilla cone to customers at participating U.S. non-mall locations on Thursday.

The offer is limited to one per person and lasts all day, while supplies last. The free cones may not be valid on delivery or mobile orders.

Best of all, there is no purchase necessary, no app to download, or any other hoops to jump through, so just show up and enjoy!

However, if you don’t mind signing up for stuff, if you sign up for DQ Rewards by March 19th, you could score free cones for a year!
