Rita’s Italian Ice is set to sweeten the arrival of spring with its beloved tradition of giving away free water ice on the first day of spring, March 19, writes Damon C. Williams for Bucks County Courier Times.

For more than a quarter-century, Rita’s has marked the seasonal shift with free water ice.

This year is no exception, as customers across Bucks County and beyond can anticipate standing in line for a complimentary cup of Rita’s famous Italian Ice. 

Bucks County residents are particularly in luck, with numerous Rita’s franchises ready to serve up happiness in a cup. From Warrington to Warminster and Doylestown to Bensalem, the list of participating locations ensures that no one is too far from joining in on the festivities. 

Now headquartered in Bucks County, Rita’s continues to thrive, with the “Cool Support Center” in Trevose at the heart of its operations, spreading ice, custard, and happiness across over 30 states.
