The annual free Rita's Regular Ice treat should return on Saturday, March 20, 2027! Celebrate the first day of spring by stopping at your local Rita's for a 6 oz. free Italian Ice treat between 12pm-9pm. I don't see anything on their website just yet, but they've run this every year since I started HIF, so I'd be amazed if they skipped it this year. Here's their press release announcing this offer.
Hopefully by the time this freebie rolls around, the weather will be so nice that everybody squeezes in their own little celebration of spring's arrival. I plan on rolling around in the grass and whispering sweet nothings at some blooming flowers.
Don't forget Rita's offers a nice free birthday food offer as well!
