Celebrate the first day of spring by picking up a FREE Rita’s Italian Ice!
This happens every year on the first day of spring, which this year is Friday, March 20, 2026.
Just stop in to your local Rita’s Ice on the day to receive a free 6-ounce Italian Ice in the available flavor of your choice. There are LOTS of different classic flavors, and you can even try their newest flavor, PEEPS®!
Rita’s Mystery PEEPS® Italian Ice Flavor Guessing Contest.
For extra fun, Rita’s is having a contest to guess the flavor of their Mystery Italian Ice that will be served as a white Italian Ice. Starting March 20, submit your flavor guess online at ritasice.com/peeps for a chance to win free Rita’s Ice for a year or a Rita’s + PEEPS® Swag Pack. Ends 3/29.
There are two Rita’s Italian Ice locations in Minnesota: Apple Valley and Eagan. So if you’re local to one of those places, enjoy! 🙂
