As spring arrives in Texas Monday, Dairy Queen, or DQ, restaurants in the state want to make that day extra sweet for its patrons.

On Monday, which is the first day of spring, DQ fans can enjoy a free small vanilla cone at participating locations, the eatery said in news release. Limit of one per person and while supplies.

“Signs that spring has arrived in Texas can be felt by the warm sun, appearance of bluebonnets in open fields, and Free Cone Day at DQ restaurants in Texas,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. “We love to welcome our biggest fans into our Lone Star restaurants and treat them to a delicious cone to build memories with their families.”

DQ encourages its fans to show their cone eating style whether they like to lick, shape into a swirl, or bite into the delicious and creamy soft serve.

Fans can share a photo enjoying Free Cone Day and tag @DairyQueenTX on Instagram and Twitter using #freeconeday.
