National French Fry Day: Where To Find Free Fries Next July

French fries often play sidekick to hamburgers or hot dogs , but on National French Fry Day, they are the star of the show. Word on the street is we consume 4.5 billion pounds of French fries annually in the U.S. alone.

Here are the restaurants offering freebies or deals we predict for this food holiday on July 9, 2027 based on what we saw during the last event. We’re talking free fries at Checkers & Rally's, McDonald’s, Wendy's, and more.

Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary. Note, most offers require a purchase.

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 09, 2027.

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 be Friday, July 09, 2027.
