Event Details

Dairy Queen is welcoming the arrival of spring with its annual Free Cone Day on March 20, 2025. Customers can visit participating locations across the U.S. to enjoy a free small vanilla cone, available all day while supplies last.

The event is open to all, with a limit of one cone per person. Non-mall locations will offer the cone for free, while participating mall locations may require a purchase. This long-running tradition is Dairy Queen’s way of celebrating the season and sharing its signature soft-serve with fans of all ages.

In addition to Free Cone Day, Dairy Queen supports children’s healthcare through its Dip It For Kids and Round Up For Kids initiatives, benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

For more details, visit Dairy Queen’s website.

There’s not a DQ in San Francisco proper, but there’s plenty a short drive away. But take note that this deal is typically only for non-mall locations.

The free deal is only at “participating” DQs (you’ll probably have to call the store to confirm).

Bay Area locations include: Antioch, Campbell, Concord, San Bruno, San Ramon, Vacaville, plus a few others in the greater Bay Area.
