FREE Italian Ice Day Game-Plan: Liberty Park Adventure + Rita’s Sweet Reward (May 3)

Free Ritas national italian ice day

Looking for weekend plans that includes a FREE treat?  Saturday’s forecast calls for clear skies mid-day so plan now to take advantage of family time outdoors and a frosty treat you don’t have to pay for. Saturday only, get a FREE small Italian Ice from Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard – Streetsboro has a location and there are a few others north of Akron.

1. Claim Your FREE Small Italian Ice at Rita’s

When: Saturday, May 3, 2025 – all day
Deal: Buy any regular-size treat (Gelati, Blendini, Blender, Frozen Custard, etc.) and get one FREE small Italian Ice—any flavor, including the brand-new Cola Italian Ice.
How:

  1. Download the free Rita’s Ice app (Apple or Google Play) and create your account before you go.

  2. Make your qualifying purchase in-shop.

  3. A single-use reward for a FREE small Ice pops up in the app—show it at the register.

Flavor Spotlight: Cola Italian Ice

Think classic fountain-drink taste—cool, sweet, a little tangy—poured into Rita’s signature icy texture. Feeling adventurous? Order the Twisted Cola Blender (Cola Ice spun with creamy CocoLime topping) or the Cola Float Gelati layered with rich vanilla frozen custard.

2. Take a Hike

We like to pair sweet treats with fun outdoor time.  Find a park or playground near the Rita’s location you plan to get your free treat from. If you are going to Streetsboro, we suggest checking out one of our favorite parks, Liberty Park – Tinkers Creek Area.

  • Accessible fishing pier & paddle launch on a peaceful, spring-fed pond—bluegill are biting.

  • 0.8-mile Buttonbush Trail loop—flat, stroller-friendly, and packed with heron and beaver sightings.
