On April 12th, between 12pm – 8pm, head to Ben & Jerry’s on Lower Thames Street and celebrate Free Cone Day in the tastiest way possible….with free cups and cones of your favorite ice cream to once again say “thank you!”
It was 37 years ago when future ice cream household namesakes Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield shocked themselves with their accomplishment: the duo had made it through their first year as business owners. And so, they wanted to create a way to thank the community that supported them. Their decision? Free cones for everyone. So they threw open the doors and scooped out every last bit of ice cream to the long lines of appreciative fans. Every year since, Ben & Jerry’s has continued this tradition with its annual Free Cone Day, the Ben & Jerriest day of the year!
Ben & Jerry’s partners with local non-profit organizations throughout the year and especially on Free Cone Day, so donate what you can when picking up your free cup or cone on April 12th!
Follow our local Ben & Jerry’s on the web HERE and on Facebook HERE.
Note: The Ben & Jerry’s on Bannister’s Wharf will not yet be open for the season and will not be participating in Free Cone Day.
“We are incredibly grateful for all the support, having been able to serve you for the past 43 years. And no better way to say thank you than 50% off our famous nacho platters!”
The Newport Salvation Army has introduced a program inviting any community-spirited individual, family, or company team to Adopt A Kettle this holiday season.
