2018 National Ice Cream Day Deals, Coupons and Freebies

There's only one thing we love more than cold ice cream on a hot summer day - FREE ice cream! No matter your politics, I think there's one thing we can ALL agree on: President Ronald Reagan was a total rock star for proclaiming the month of July as "National Ice Cream Month" and the third Sunday of July as "National Ice Cream Day." Yes, he actually signed this into law in 1984. Brilliant. 

This year, National Ice Cream Day falls on Sunday, July 15th and many of your favorite cold treat retailers celebrate with freebies either on that day, or all month long in some cases! Check out our list below, but be sure to call ahead to make sure your local scoop shop is participating.
