About Free Cone Day
Free Cone Day is back at Ben & Jerry’s on April 16! We were scared it was gone for good with the pandemic, but they brought it back in 2023. As with last year, guests can just walk in and get a free scoop in a cup or cone from 12 – 8 pm. No purchase necessary, no strings attached. Ben & Jerry’s sent this message with the great news.
Free Cone Day is an annual event held between late March and early May, in which Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops give out free ice cream cups and cones. The first Free Cone Day was held on Saturday, May 5, 1979 by Ben and Jerry as a customer and staff appreciation event for the first anniversary of their store’s opening.
Over one million free cones are given away each year, prompting the company’s ad slogan “Be One In A Million.” Charitable organizations are often present at the stores each year and enjoy a significant amount of fundraising success. Often, local celebrities show up at various stores, promoting the day and the charities there. Sometimes the event is scheduled to coincide with Earth Day and sometimes volunteers are on hand with clipboards and voter registration forms to help those who would like to register to vote.
