PHOTOS: Free Rita’s Water Ice in Philly today

Rejoice, Philly! It may not feel like it outside, but today is the first day of spring and to celebrate, Rita’s is giving out free water ice. (Italian ice to the rest of the country.)

The tradition has been going strong at Rita’s locations nationwide for over 25 years and despite the chill in the air, lines are long for a scoop of the cold stuff.

Did we see you at the 1511 Spruce St. location today? Check out our photo gallery above.

You can get your free water ice between 12 p.m. and 9 p.m.
