Free Cone Day At Ben And Jerry's In Orange County

TUSTIN, CA — Tuesday is Free Cone Day at Orange County's only Ben & Jerry's shop, located at The District at Tustin Legacy.

More than 6,000 ice cream lovers are expected to turn out from noon to 8 p.m. for the annual event.

The lines may get long, but they move fast and there will be a DJ playing music for the crowds and giving out front-of-line passes to lucky folks, as well as a ballon-artist for kids -- all free.

"If one scoop isn't enough to satisfy, folks are allowed to get back into line for an additional scoop," they told us.

In 2018, the Orange County Ben & Jerry's gave out 6,290 free cones -- the most popular scoops doled out? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Sweet Cream N Cookies, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Vanilla won the day.

Are you vegan or dairy-free? Fear not, ice cream lover. There will be options for you, as well. Consider trying Caramel Almond Brittle and non-dairy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

There will also be a lower-calorie option with Mocha Fudge Brownie, from Ben & Jerry's Moo-phoria's line of light ice creams.

The iconic ice cream brand has held its Free Cone Day event since 1979 and they expect to give away more than 1 million free cones this year from more than 500 scoop shops around the world.

Ben & Jerry's is located at 2459 Park Ave., Tustin, Calif., at The District at Tustin Legacy. It's located next to AMC Tustin 14.
