Rita's, Dairy Queen Giving Away Free Treats on 1st Day of Spring
Spring has sprung! To celebrate, Rita's and Dairy Queen are offering free desserts on the first day of spring.
Long Island, NY – After a relatively mild winter, spring is finally here— and what better way to celebrate than with free ice cream and Italian ice?
Rita's and Dairy Queen are both offering their free treats to celebrate the start of spring. Unlike last year when spring started with several inches of snow, this year's first day of spring is expected to be sunny with temperatures near 50 degrees, so you can enjoy dessert outside.
Rita's will give away a free small Italian ice to all customers who stop by on March 20.
