With June 20 marking the official start of summer, Wayback Burgers is stepping up to the plate, offering a free 12-ounce vanilla milkshake at its locations throughout the country, including its Bay County spots in Panama City Beach and Lynn Haven. No purchase is necessary, which is a sweet deal for those looking to cool off during the anticipated sweltering weather. According to News Herald, Bay County residents can expect high temperatures with a heat index near 109 degrees and a forecasted high of 88 degrees. So, why not celebrate summer’s arrival with a tasty treat on June 20?
For those waiting for even more summer fun, Wayback Burgers has a special surprise lined up. On June 21, coinciding with Groove Fest at the Panama City Marina, the chain will host its annual „Free Shake Day,“ where a 12-ounce chocolate milkshake will also be given away—again, no purchase needed. The first 50 guests at each location will snag a limited-edition Shake Koozie to keep their drinks cold while they enjoy the sunshine. The milkshakes at Wayback are a true treat, made with Blue Bunny® ice cream and milk, ensuring a rich and creamy flavor that captures the nostalgia of summer.
Savor the Summer Offers
It’s not just about one free shake! Starting June 21 and running through August 31, Wayback Burgers will roll out Summer Happy Hour deals for its Wayback Rewards members.

The unique flavors are well worth exploring, particularly in the sultry Florida summer heat.
