In the dog days of summer, nothing tastes better than a cold drink.

Especially a free cold drink.

7-Eleven said its 6,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada are preparing to give away close to 5 million free 7.11-ounce Slurpee drinks on Saturday, July 11 (that’s 7/11, get it?). The retailer is celebrating its 82nd birthday.

The annual tradition of giving away Slurpees on July 11 began in 2002. For this year’s promotion, special cups feature a code that allows customers to enter an online sweepstakes. Entrants can purchase $7.11 lawn tickets for concerts at select Live Nation venues across the country. (Some additional fees apply).
