Do you scream for ice cream? If you do, bring yourself, your friends, your family and even your dog to the 4th Annual Austin Ice Cream Festival. This yummy event will include lot's of games, activities, contests and live entertainment as well as what we all scream for ICE CREAM!

Presented by Amplify Credit Union and all those who love ice cream, the 4th Annual Austin Ice Cream Festival is an event centered around family, fun, and ice cream which harkens back to a time when ice cream trucks roamed the streets and running through sprinklers was an art form.
