SARATOGA SPRINGS — Ben and Jerry’s fans can mark April 4 on their calendars as Free Cone Day.
For the past 38 years, Ben and Jerry’s shops have dished out free ice cream to fans. The tradition has continued to grow, beginning in the small state of Vermont, and now spanning across the globe.
Fans are invited to the Ben and Jerry’s at 34 Phila Street, from noon to 8 p.m., to show their ongoing support.
In addition to dishing out the chunks and swirls, Ben and Jerry’s staff will partner with local organization Universal Preservation Hall (UPH).
Tips received during the event will help UPH’s mission to be a catalyst for excellence in community collaboration, civic engagement and sustainable economic growth in Saratoga Springs.
During the afternoon, city officials and representatives from Proctor’s Theatre also will be on hand.
