Kick Off Summer With Free Ice Cream From Kroger

Author Cody

June 12th 5:00 AM

To celebrate the start of summer and the day of the year with the most hours of sunlight – 15 straight hours to be exact, Kroger will give away 50 pints of free Kroger® Brand ice cream per minute.

While Memorial Day marked the unofficial kick-off to summer for many of us, the season actually begins on Thursday, June 20th. And to mark this special day, you can get free ice cream at Kroger! Keep reading to find out how you can claim your free pint.

Beginning Of Summer – Summer Solstice

The beginning of summer is known as summer solstice, which marks the longest day of the year. It’s also when the Sun is at the highest point in the sky and Earth is at maximum tilt toward the Sun. This means we get the most hours of sunlight we’ll see all year in a single day. In fact, we’ll have 15 hours of daylight on June 20th.

After summer solstice, the amount of sunlight we see each day will slowly decrease. That leads to the shortest day of the year, or the day with the least amount of daylight, which will be Saturday, December 21st. And it’s complete opposite of summer solstice. At that point, the Earth is tilted farthest from the Sun.

But of course, summer ends long before December. Fall will officially begin on Sunday, September 22, 2024, although many consider summer over on Labor Day (Monday, September 2, 2024).
