As it does every year, the Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day (a fantastic American ice cream brand) is back to delight the start of spring.
Being a bit of a die-hard fan of this brand and having infected pretty much all of my friends, family, and acquaintances with it, it is with immense pleasure (no, I’m not exaggerating…) that I announce that Free Cone Day will take place this year on Tuesday, April 3rd from 1 PM to 7 PM.
A quick reminder of the event’s concept: Ben & Jerry’s offers its fans a day of free tasting of their ice creams at their points of sale across all of France.
Here are some addresses where you can rush to, to gorge yourself on Ben & Jerry’s ice cream as announced previously. Enjoy your tasting!

For those who aren’t lucky enough to be able to make the trip, good news: an ice cream truck will be coming to 15 cities in France to extend Free Cone Day and share this great moment with as many people as possible from April 17th to May 25th, 2012.
Furthermore, just like last year, an evening at La Bellevilloise in Paris, the Fair Cone Night, will complete and conclude this magnificent day.
In partnership with Emmaüs, the evening which will start at 8 PM, will give each guest the opportunity to donate at least one piece of clothing in good condition to the organization (in the “Benne à Jerry” at the entrance) and thus make a Fair gesture…
Also on the program for the evening: unlimited Ben & Jerry’s ice cream of course, but also DJ sets, fashion advice featuring thrifted clothes from Emmaüs, and lots and lots of good vibes!
To participate in this evening, you just need to follow carefully the Facebook page of Ben & Jerry’s because tickets for the Fair Cone Night will be up for grabs regularly (a total of 200 tickets will be up for grabs for the event).
To follow Free Cone Day live on the big day, you can also subscribe to the Ben & Jerry’s Twitter feed.
