A&W Restaurants announced in a company press release that participating A&W restaurants in the U.S. will celebrate National Root Beer Float Day on Aug. 6 by giving away free root beer floats. The restaurant chain will also sponsor the first ever Float a Friend contest, where 50 winners will get free root beer floats for a year. 

"Our founder, Roy Allen, began making root beer nearly a century ago," said A&W CEO Kevin Bazner, in the report. "Millions of root beer floats later, A&W is celebrating National Root Beer Float Day by giving back to its loyal guests, and giving them a chance to share the tastiest and most refreshing day of the summer all year long with our Float a Friend contest."
