Did someone say free ice cream? Well yes, it was us. Spring is in the air, the sun has been shining, the temps on the rise (for a few days anyway) and there's one thing on many people's minds...

ICE CREAM.

Free Cones at DQ on March 19th

Participating Dairy Queen locations will be celebrating the season (spring) with free sweet treats ALL DAY on Thursday, March 19th by offering free cones. With spring in the air, visit your local non-mall DQ location to get your free cone (limit one per person). If you happen to have a mall-based Dairy Queen, those locations do require a purchase.

Cue the confetti.

Hudson Valley Dairy Queen Locations

While many of our favorite ice cream shops across the Hudson Valley may close their doors during the colder winter months, DQ has our back year round, both for ice cream and other snacks. Bonus points for the year-round DQ ice cream menu, always there for us even when there's 12 feet of snow on the ground and temps below freezing, sometimes you just need to get your ice cream fix.
