If you’ve seen a few folks dressed as cows today, you may be thinking Halloween came early. But it’s actually Cow Appreciation Day, the day Chick-Fil-A gives out free food to those dressed as its mascot.

For the 13th year, the fast food chain is holding the event at more than 2,100 stores nationwide, including dozens of locations in metro Atlanta. From opening until 7 p.m. Tuesday, the company is passing out free entrees to adult customers who dress in any cow attire from "head-to-hoof," according to the restaurant's website.

And the kiddos can play, too. Children clad in their best cowstume get a free kids meal.

There was no shortage of Atlantans who took part in the festivities. Check out some of the best outfits from the day.
