First day of spring 2024 means free Rita's Italian water ice. How to get yours in Delaware
When the calendar tells you the first day of spring is coming, is also saying a special annual event is coming as well — Rita's Italian Ice & Custard offering free Italian ice.
On Tuesday, March 19, all customers will receive a free Italian Ice in the flavor of their choice to celebrate the first day of spring. It's the 32nd anniversary of the First Day of Spring Giveaway.
Rita's Italian Ice & Custard has new flavor
Customers will have a new flavor to choose from, as the company also announced the arrival of Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Ice, which according to the company adds "a burst of tangy and tart watermelon to Rita's diverse menu."
The new flavor will be available for a limited time, according to Rita's, and can be ordered as a gelati, which combines the Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Ice with vanilla frozen custard and is topped with sour watermelon topping, or as a Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Ice Blender, which highlights the flavor in a beverage.
