If you’ve shopped at Target during Target Circle Week, you already know they’ve been stepping up their game when it comes to loyalty perks. But in 2025, they took things a step further and launched a brand-new event: Hello Summer Saturdays — a weekly in-store giveaway series just for Target Circle members.

Every Saturday in June 2025, Circle members could swing by any store between noon - 4 p.m. and score a free charm or keychain, no purchase needed. And if you were one of the lucky folks with a Target Circle 360 membership (the paid version of Circle), you got extra perks, like a monthly freebie worth up to $10 — perfect to pair with your Saturday stop.

It was the first time Target tried something like this, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they brought it back for summer 2026. So if you're already thinking ahead, here’s a breakdown of what happened in 2025 — and what might return next year.

Target Hello Summer Saturdays offers freebies and deals to Circle loyalty members every Saturday in June.

If Target brings back Hello Summer Saturdays in 2026, we’re expecting more of the same fun for Target Circle members — free charm or keychain giveaways every Saturday in June, plus exclusive deals on snacks, swimwear, toys, and more. In 2025, the events ran from noon - 4 p.m. local time at all stores, and there’s a good chance Target sticks to that same setup for next year.

KCL predicts the next Target Summer Saturdays free giveaway day will be Saturday, June 5, 2026.

Target hasn’t officially announced the Summer Saturdays free giveaway dates for 2026 yet, but if they follow the same pattern as 2025, we’re predicting the event will kick off on the first Saturday in June — June 5, 2026.

Target Summer Saturdays Charm Giveaway dates in 2025

Here’s what Target gave away in 2025:

  • June 7: Bag Charm

  • June 14: Lip Balm Holder

  • June 21: Tassel

  • June 28: Wristlet

Everything was first-come, first-served — and once they were gone, that was it. So if this returns in 2026, plan to show up early.

How to Get the Free Charm or Keychain (If It Comes Back)

If Target brings back this promo, here’s what to expect:

  • No purchase necessary. Just show your Target Circle barcode in the app to get your freebie.

  • Look for the Hello Summer Saturdays display. It’ll be near the front of the store or in seasonal areas.

  • Arrive early. Giveaways start at noon and end at 4 p.m., but popular weeks may run out fast.

Target Summer Saturdays FAQs

Do I need to make a purchase to get the freebie? Nope — it’s totally free for Target Circle members.

Do I need to register in advance? No registration needed, just show up and scan your Circle barcode.

Is this happening at every Target store? Yes — in 2025 it was nationwide, and we expect the same if it returns in 2026.

What if my store runs out? The freebies are only available while supplies last, so show up as early as you can.
