All The National Days That Will Snag You Free Food In July

Celebrate summer with free ice cream & hot dogs!

Summer foods have their own special, almost nostalgic quality. Nothing beats a hot dog straight from the grill, or a big scoop of ice cream on a long summer night. So it only makes sense that both National Ice Cream Day and National Hot Dog Day are both in July.
