National Ice Cream Day 2020: Where To Get Freebies and Deals

National Ice Cream Day is just around the corner and we’ve got some ice cream deals for you.

The special food holiday for enjoying a classic hot-weather treat always falls on the third Sunday of July. This is now famously known as National Ice Cream Day. This year that date is Sunday, July 19th.

If you think that National Ice Cream Day is just another made up ‘day’ that’s an excuse to treat yourself, then you’d be wrong. This very real holiday was first declared by former President Ronald Reagan in 1984, even though he was more of a jelly bean fan (via Today).

So we scoured the web in search of the best ice cream freebies and deals we can find so you can enjoy an ice cream treat and save a few bucks.

Here’s the few places downriver that are offering a special deal:
