The free Italian ice is a regular sized ice and now you can even try the new PEEPS flavor that they have debuted for the occasion. PEEPS is named after the marshmallow treats that are so popular at Easter time and come in a variety of bright colors. Those flavors are available until April 4th.

For the past 17 years, Rita’s has been giving away a free, regular size Italian Ice to each and every guest to mark the first day of spring! This is a sweet date for Italian Ice lovers, as each year, hundreds of thousands of our guests visit Rita’s in search of the first taste of spring.

There are a number of ways to welcome Spring in to your life, and if you live in the United States, you could get a free water ice but if you do not, then there are a few other traditions you can adopt to celebrate the season. Eggs are a Spring tradition as well as seeds and if you are so inclined you can even burn your socks.
