2026 Update (July 2025): This post has been updated with the latest National Ice Cream Day deals in Wichita, including new offers from Burger King and DQ.
We’re not surprised that July is National Ice Cream Month, first designated by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, because that cold treat is especially welcome during these hot summer days. Not coincidentally, National Ice Cream Day is annually on the third Sunday in July.
This year, National Ice Cream Day is Sunday, July 19, 2026.
And according to DQ, National Ice Cream Week is July 13-19!
