If water ice isn't your thing, how about an ice cream cone? Dairy Queen will give away free ice cream cones at all non-mall locations of both Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill restaurants.

While the small vanilla soft serve cones will be free, customers participating in the fourth annual Free Cone Day will be asked to donate money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. More than $300,000 was raised last year on Free Cone Day.

Participating area Dairy Queen stores include the locations at:

  • 1662 Butler Pike, Conshohocken
  • 2040 Plymouth Meeting Mall, Plymouth Meeting
