Here’s Where to Get Freebies, Deals, Free or Discounted Fries on National French Fry Day 2025

National French Fry Day 2025 is celebrated this year on Friday, July 11. The delicious dessert is celebrated on the second Friday in July in the United States! On Friday, July 11, this year’s holiday, a number of popular chains are selling the beloved treat at discounted prices. Check out all of the free and discounted fries below!

This year, Friday, July 11, is designated as National French Fry Day 2025. Many chains are giving away or discounting the price of their French fries to customers on Friday to “celebrate” the event. If you want your freebie, you might have to be ready to spend $1.

French fries are already a popular side dish, but there’s still a special day to celebrate them: National French Fry Day on Friday, July 11.

Fast-food companies Checkers and Rally’s launched an online petition in 2022 to have the second Friday of July officially recognized as National French Fry Day, which has been observed on July 13 for many years, according to the National Day Calendar. This year, National Slurpee Day falls on the same day as the French fries event.

According to a frequently updated survey by online market research company YouGov, French fries are The Most Popular American Dishes, along with hamburgers. Among American adults, each was rated 86% popular, higher than fried chicken and grilled cheese, which were rated 85%.

A recent poll of 5,000 American adults by Talker Research for McCain Foods, a company that produces frozen potato products that are sold all over the world, found that Americans consume approximately 17 pounds of fries every year.

This is a roundup of the special deals that are offered across the country this Fry-day.
