7-Eleven Day Means FREE SLURPEES!

Tomorrow is the 11th of July, which means just one thing: It's FREE SLURPEE DAY at (participating) 7-Eleven locations.
It's pretty easy to celebrate: Show up at a participating 7-Eleven location between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on July 11 and get yourself a free 7.11 oz Slurpee. Go ahead and get wild and mix the Coca Cola flavor with Cherry, or try one of their "lite" offerings. Sip, slurp, and save those bucks for another day.
Bonus, if you'd like to spend your Wednesday evening cooling off on some coasters, since 7-Eleven is partnering with Six Flags (as in Magic Mountain, locally) to let 7-Eleven day customers into the park for $7.11 after 7:11 p.m. (You'll find all the fine print about the promo here.)
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
