Now in its fifth year, YYC Ice Cream Fest is back and better than ever with its food festival focused around the popular summer treat.
Running from July 17 to August 16, the festival invites anyone with a sweet tooth to try featured ice cream creations at participating cafés, restaurants and ice cream shops. This year’s ice cream treats come in many forms, with options like a horchata cold brew ice cream sandwich at Otie Bakehouse, lemon raspberry ice cream pie at Pie Junkie, ice cream tacos from Lics Ice Cream Shop and more.
Each time a featured treat is sold, $1 to $3 will go towards supporting Calgary Meals on Wheels. Once you’ve tried a few, be sure to rate the ice creams online, as the eateries will be battling it out for three titles: YYC’s Best Scoop, the Golden Scoop Award and Best Non-Dairy Scoop.
