There’s nothing better than a cool ICEE on a hot summer day!
Since 1967, ICEE has become the go-to treat on movie nights, amusement park adventures, road trips, convenience store stops and everyday celebrations.

And, after nearly 60 years of helping people cool off, ICEE is introducing a new annual tradition with the debut of its first-ever National ICEE Day on Aug. 18, 2026.
Timed to celebrate the final days of summer before the back-to-school season, National ICEE Day will return every August.
