Welcome Spring With Free Ice at Rita's

Get a free regular treat at the Rita's in Maryland City Wednesday.

The first day of spring may not always come with the warmest temperatures, but we can celebrate one thing: free Italian ice.

The Rita's in Maryland City will welcome customers with a free regular ice from noon to 10 p.m. Wednesday to help usher in the spring. Lines may be long, so consider arriving earlier in the day.

The promotion is available at Rita's nationwide. The company has given away free Italian ice to celebrate the first day of spring for the past 20 years.
