The first day of spring is here, Friday, March 20th. Start your season off with a great deal on breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.

It may not feel like spring across the United States. Cool temperatures remain in the east, while parts of the west are experiencing record high temperatures during a brutal summer. However, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory, today is the vernal equinox on the calendar, with the official start of spring at 10:46 a.m. ET.

You may have missed Dairy Queen’s Free Corn Day on March 19th, but there are still plenty of great deals to be had on Friday, March 20th when the season officially begins.
