Krispy Kreme Fans Line Up for Free Donuts in Dupont

Want a free donut today? Hope you don’t mind waiting.

As many as two dozen people were spotted lining up for free donuts at the Dupont Circle Krispy Kreme (1350 Connecticut Ave. NW) around 9:30 a.m. today. And it’s likely to get crazier later, employees at the store said.

The donut chain is slinging free pastries all day today as part of its National Donut Day promotion. Patrons can visit any Krispy Kreme for a free donut of any variety, the company said in a press release.

Do people really line up for free Krispy Kreme? Uh, yes. Check out these photos from last year’s extravaganza:
