Head to your nearest participating Dairy Queen and ask to redeem your free cone! Heads up, guys, you've got to get the cone in person. You can't get a free one through delivery with the DQ Rewards mobile app. You must physically be at the store to get the sweet treat.

BREWER, Maine (WABI) - While there may be some snow in the forecast, Thursday is indeed the first day of spring. At participating Dairy Queen locations across the country, that means free ice cream. A free small ice cream cone is what’s free, but for a dollar more, that cone can be dipped. That dollar goes to charity.
