Dip It for Kids at Dairy Queen March 19

Participating Dairy Queen restaurants throughout Southeast Michigan are celebrating the first day of spring by providing fans with one small, soft-serve vanilla cone on Free Cone Day, Thursday, March 19, 2026.

Participating DQ locations will also host a Dip It for Kids campaign, which provides fans an opportunity to add a dip or sprinkles to their DQ cones for just $1. The additional dollar, as well as any other donations collected at Southeast Michigan Dairy Queen locations that day, will be donated to help fund cutting-edge health care equipment and other program needs for pediatric patients at Corewell Health Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) member hospital.

Dairy Queen’s famous original cones are available in vanilla, chocolate or twist soft serve. There are three sizes that retail from $3.79 to $4.89. During the Dip It for Kids campaign, anyone receiving a free small vanilla cone, or purchasing a larger cone, can add a dipped topping or sprinkles for just $1. Hard-shell coating flavors available may include chocolate, cherry and butterscotch.

Since 2003, Dairy Queen stores in Southeast Michigan have raised nearly $1.2 million for Corewell Health Children’s to help pioneer new health care solutions and provide access to the latest research and technology for more than 200,000 local children annually.
