Free Water Ice At Rita's In Union County To Welcome Spring

UNION COUNTY, NJ — Spring is nearly here, and you know what that means: free water ice at Rita's.

Rita's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard is keeping its tradition of offering free water ice on the first day of spring again in 2023, including a new flavor that will be available that day.

Monday marks the start of spring —and all day Monday, Rita's in North Jersey and around the region will be serving up free sweet treats.

The best part? There's no catch to getting a free water ice. Just show up at your local Rita's to claim the free treat.

There's no purchase necessary to get the freebie, nor is there an app needed to get in on the deal.

Rita's is, however, hosting a contest to win free water ice for a year.

To enter, download the Rita's Ice mobile app before Monday and enter promo code SPRING23 for a chance to win free ice for a year.

Get the app on the Apple Store here and on the Google Play store here.
