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. While
having a great time, we will also be raising money for local charities.
