Looking for something to do on Friday, August 9th from 3 to 9pm? Join us at Ice Cream Fest for a fun-filled day of activities, games, food, and of course, ice cream. Thanks to the many community partners who helped us sponsor this event. With your ticket sales and sponsor donations, we are able to make this event fun for everyone! This year we have an alien glow party theme. Dress up and have fun!

We have a special activity course with 12 different team building, trivia, mind-melting crafts, challenges, dance-offs, bubble stations and so much more! Participants will get a stamp on their scavenger map at each station and will receive a commemorative button with certificate at the end!

We are starting the music with some latin vibes. BBR Band features Cuban and Guatemalan bi-lingual music from an amazing family band. Perfect to get the kids in the Ice Cream Fest Spirit!

Imagine 100’s of kids competing for the fastest time eating fresh Julie Ann’s Custard for a chance for glory! The Brain Freeze contest is a real spectacle for all ages with leader boards and of course an amazing trophy. Thanks to Exemplar Financial for sponsoring the contest and providing spots for BBBS Littles! You must reserve a spot and purchase an entry along with your ticket.

Next up we have the new and improved Paul’s Dead Band. Paul’s Dead is a tribute band spreading Grateful Dead jams with positive messages. Expect horns, beautiful songs and beloved songs that inspire Peace, Love and Ice Cream.

To close out the evening we have a funky band called Mitch the Lip and Side Hustle Band with horns and backup singers that will be perfect for our glow party for the sunset over beautiful Crystal Lake. Put New Orleans funk, British Ska/Reggae, Motown and Bad Company in a blender and come out with an ice cream shake.
