Here's the Inside Scoop on Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day Today!
Since 1979, Annual Giveaway is a Thanks to Fans
BURLINGTON, Vt., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Ben & Jerry's holds its annual Free Cone Day celebration, serving up free scoops of its ice cream known for chunks and swirls to fans across the US and around the world.
Last year the ice cream maker dished out over 1 million scoops of free ice cream; if you laid those cones down end to end, it would create an ice cream trail 80 miles long!
The event, dubbed the Ben & Jerry's-est day of the year began in 1979. Free Cone Day has been a way for Ben & Jerry's to give back to the community that helped it grow from a single Scoop Shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, to one of the most beloved ice cream companies worldwide.
A favorite aspect of Free Cone Day is that fans are encouraged to get back in line as many times as they'd like. Fans can choose from classics like Phish Food, a Scoop Shop exclusive like Mango, a Non-Dairy favorite like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or an ice cream with a mission like Chocolate Fudge Brownie.
