Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day Returns April 16

Ben & Jerry’s annual Free Cone Day is set to return on April 16, with the ice cream brand aiming to serve 1 million scoops to fans worldwide. Last year, after a four-year hiatus, Free Cone Day made a highly anticipated comeback, with supporters flocking to participating Scoop Shops across the globe. Ben & Jerry’s CEO, Dave Stever, hopes to surpass last year's scoops served and is calling on fans to help achieve the ambitious goal of breaking 1 million scoops on Free Cone Day 2024 by inviting friends, family, and neighbors to join in the celebration.

The tradition of Free Cone Day dates back to 1979, when founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, in their first winter as a new ice cream business, wanted to show gratitude to their community. The event has since become a global phenomenon, symbolizing Ben & Jerry’s commitment to giving back to its supporters. Fans can enjoy a variety of flavors at participating Scoop Shops, including new additions like Non-Dairy Strawberry Cheezecake.
