I scream, you scream! July is National Ice Cream Month, first designated in 1984. It includes National Ice Cream Day, which always falls on the third Sunday of July — that’s a play on the word “sundae,” by the way!
And that means you will find plenty of ice cream deals and freebies on July 21, 2024.
Some deals are announced at the last minute, so be sure to check back for newly added items. We will be updating with National Ice Cream Day deals every day.
Happy brain freeze!
