To kick off the summer of 2024, Tropical Smoothie Café is offering a refreshing treat to Acadiana residents. On Wednesday, May 29, 2024, from 2 PM to 7 PM, all Lafayette area locations will be giving away free 12oz Island Punch smoothies in celebration of National Flip Flop Day.

This annual promotion, available exclusively in-café, invites guests to swap out their usual footwear for flip flops to enjoy a complimentary Island Punch smoothie. Launched over 15 years ago by Tropical Smoothie Café, National Flip Flop Day has become a beloved tradition signaling the start of summer.

The Island Punch smoothie, a customer favorite, features a delightful blend of peach, guava, passion fruit, mango, and pineapple – the perfect tropical treat to beat the heat. Alongside their famous smoothies, Tropical Smoothie Café offers a variety of delicious menu items, including flatbreads, salads, and an array of bowls.

Co-owner BJ Crist shared his enthusiasm for the event, noting, "It’s one of the most fun days of the year for team members and customers alike. People come in wearing flip flops with their work uniforms and full business attire, creating quite the lively and festive atmosphere."
