Free Cone Day
To kick off spring the sweetest way possible, we’re celebrating DQ® Free Cone Day by giving away FREE small vanilla soft-serve cones ALL DAY on Thursday, March 19th!
No purchase is necessary—just stop by, smile, and enjoy a classic DQ treat on us.
Want to make your cone extra special? You can dip your cone in chocolate, try our NEW Mint Crunchin’ Cookie cone dip, or add sprinkles for just $1. Every dollar raised from cone upgrades will be donated directly to UVA Children’s Hospital, helping support lifesaving care for kids and families right here in our community.
Whether you’re welcoming warmer weather, treating the kids after school, or just looking for an excuse to enjoy a little happiness, Free Cone Day is our way of saying thank you for being part of our DQ family—while giving back to a great cause.
Come celebrate spring, spread some joy, and help make a difference—one cone at a time.
