Here's Everywhere You Can Get Free Ice Cream and Deals for National Ice Cream Day

Summer is at it’s peak (along with our thermometers), and a cold scoop ice cream is becoming more of an essential than a treat.

But sometimes, when we scream for ice cream, our wallets scream right back. All that changes on one day of the year, July 21, when we celebrate National Ice Cream Day and  chains offer sweet discounts on their wares—from BOGO parfaits at GODIVA to complimentary milkshakes at Johnny Rockets.

Take a look at our roundup of deals (many of them mean absolutely free ice cream!), and see if there are any participating locations near you.
