Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.

National Drive-Thru Day is an annual food holiday that offers drive-thru-only deals every July 24.

Every year on July 24, restaurants, including Jack in the Box, offer drive-thru-only freebies, discounts, and deals. Some, like Chick-fil-A, even have giveaways.

The next National Drive-Thru Day will take place on Saturday, July 24, 2027.

Jack in the Box first initiated the creation of National Drive-Thru Day in 2002 to recognize all drive-thru businesses. At the time, they suggested that the date be celebrated annually on July 28. However, the date was changed to July 24 in 2006 (it’s rumored that the change was made because another national food holiday, National Hamburger Day (now recognized on May 28 each year), also fell on July 24, and they didn’t want to overlap the two).

In 2027, National Drive-Thru Day will take place on Saturday, July 24.
