Free Ben & Jerry’s Cone Day is April 14, 2026

Based on previous dates, we anticipate the classic Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day will take place this year on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 from 12 – 8pm. Mark your calendars then stop in and get a free scoop of your favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream!

Also, don't be fooled by the name. Last year I spent hours cleaning out a giant traffic cone, but for some crazy reason, my local Ben & Jerry's wouldn't fill it to the brim with free ice cream. So I guess it's not just any old cone, right Ben? Or was it Jerry who instituted this insane policy?!

This annual event typically brings out a large crowd, so don't be surprised if there's a slightly longer line than usual when you go.

I have scheduled this post to republish a few days before April 14 so you get another reminder.
