FROM KONA ICE
You might be familiar with Kona Ice, but if not—every year the brand hosts National “Chill Out Day” and trucks nationwide hand out free shaved ice on Tax Day. It’s a way to cure the community’s stress related to Tax Day, because there should be no taxation without relaxation.
Kona Ice of Selma and Pratville will be stationed at 612 S Memorial Dr, Prattville, AL 36067 on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 from 12 – 2 pm.

Island-Themed Truck to Give Away FREE Shaved Ice to Help Community “Chill Out” on Tax Day
WHAT: With Tax Day right around the corner, many of us are reaching into our pockets to pay-off Uncle Sam. To relieve taxpayers of the stress associated with meeting the federal deadline, Kona Ice will be hosting its eighth annual National “Chill Out” Day.
A Kona Ice truck will be parked at 612 S Memorial Dr. in Prattville to hand out FREE cups of tropical shaved ice to all who stop by. The refreshing treat will ensure that there is no taxation without relaxation this tax season.
WHY: National “Chill Out” Day is one of the many ways Kona Ice is encouraging the nation to take a step back, relax and enjoy a Kona. National “Chill Out” Day is one small, yet powerful, way the brand hopes to put a smile on people’s faces. Through partnerships with schools, youth sports leagues and other neighborhood organizations, Kona Ice has given back more than $135 million to the communities it serves.
