Order up a scoop of your favorite non-dairy flavor to celebrate!

Mark your calendars! Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is back! The company is offering free scoops of its ice cream desserts to thank fans for their support. The event will take place on Monday, April 3 at scoop shops across the country!

The History of Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day

The company’s co-founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, started Free Cone Day in 1979 to celebrate their first year in business and thank the local community for their support. Now, over 40 years later, the event is still a way to show appreciation to fans around the world.

The company aims to serve well over a million fair trade scoops globally on this year’s Free Cone Day. And fans are encouraged to bring their friends, family, and loved ones to help celebrate. The event will take place on Monday, April 3. And non-dairy ice cream lovers can get in line as many times as they like to try any flavor they prefer. Some participating scoop shops will partner with a local nonprofit.
