Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Free Cone Day! *CANCELLED*

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Free Cone Day! CANCELLED

UPDATE 3/10/20

Well, I’m bummed! I SO look forward to Ben & Jerry’s FREE Cone Day every year. Well, because of all the concerns and panic over the Coronavirus this annual event has been cancelled. They are hoping to reschedule the event for later in the year but no information yet. And of course we’ll keep you posted.

Free Cone Day is our favorite day of the year. It’s a special time to thank fans for their love with free Fairtrade ice cream all around the world. This year, some of our scoop shops in communities around the world will be unable to take part in Free Cone Day due to precautions put in place by local Governments around large public gatherings, considering the increasing presence of COVID-19.

So, to stand in solidarity with ice cream lovers everywhere, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Free Cone Day this year. We hope to reschedule our global Free Cone Day event for later in the year, when we know more. And we will keep you posted. Our scoop shops remain open as usual and ready to serve up your favorites.

Sending peace and love,
Ben & Jerry’s

Until then, why not brush up on the history of this unofficially official global holiday?

1979

The first ever Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day in the history of history! It was our way of thanking everyone for all the love and support they showed us that first year of business in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

Since 1979, Ben & Jerry’s has been giving away free scoops of ice cream. In other words, as of five years ago they had given well over a million scoops. That’s a lot of freebies!
