Flip Flop Day at Tropical Smoothie Cafe is an annual event where customers get a free smoothie by wearing flip-flops in-store.
National Flip Flop Day was created by Tropical Smoothie Cafe in 2007 to celebrate the start of summer. Every year, they offer a free 12-ounce smoothie to customers in flip-flops.
Stop into your local Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Flip Flop Day to claim your freebie. Supplies are limited at each location.
KCL predicts the next Flip Flop Day at Tropical Smoothie Cafe will be Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
Historically, National Flip Flop Day was celebrated on the third Friday of June. However, in 2023 it changed to the first Wednesday after Memorial Day and that continued into 2025. If next year follows the same pattern, you'll get a free smoothie on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
KCL TIP: There are over 1,000 Tropical Smoothie cafe locations across 45 states (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, and Vermont). Contact your local Tropical Smoothie Cafe to see if they're participating in this event.
You'll save around $4 with this smoothie freebie.
You'll typically pay around $7.99 for a 24-ounce smoothie, depending on your location. That means a 12-ounce smoothie would run about $4 — but you'll get one for free.
We love when this deal comes around once a year. Bust out your flip-flops and get ready to save.
