National French Fry Day is a yearly, day-long event where restaurants give away french fries.

National French Fry Day is a day when certain restaurants or fast-food chains offer free french fries to customers. Typically, customers can receive a free serving of french fries with the purchase of another item, such as a burger or a drink, or sometimes simply by visiting the establishment during a specified time frame. And McDonald’s offers free fries for their app users with no purchase necessary.

The next National French Fry Day will take place on Friday, July 11, 2025.

National French Fry Day used to be on a set date, but after a successful petition by food chains Checkers & Rally’s, it’ll always be on the second Friday in July. Because “fry day” should be on a Friday. Obviously. So this year, National French Fry Day will take place on Friday, July 11, 2025.
