Scream For Ice Cream At Austin's Scoop Fest
If you weren’t paying attention earlier this year and missed out on the party in Beantown, you’ve got a second chance to totally pig out on the sweet treat that is ice cream. This Saturday, Austin hosts its third annual Austin Ice Cream Festival. Of course there’ll be loads of ice cream to eat, but as the festival celebrates its third scoop, there’s much more than just gluttony to keep everyone entertained.
Yes, there will be an ice cream eating contest, but it’s only available to the first 30 people that sign up on the day of the festival—so get there early. We’re wimps and can’t stand the thought of a solid hour of brain freeze, so we’ll probably bust out our elementary school arts and crafts skills at the Popsicle Stick Sculpture Contest. It’s free to enter and there are pretty much no rules, just no pre-notched sticks, so make whatever you want to impress the judges.
If your stick fortress crumbles under its own weight, no worries, just let out your frustration at the Screaming Contest. Let everyone know that you scream for ice cream the loudest, as the judges will be looking for volume and style. We’re hoping for a little bit of aspirin-flavored ice cream to soothe our heads after this event.
Getting into the party will only set you back $5, and there’ll be plenty of live music—this is Austin after all. If you’ve got little ones, they can scamper in for free if they are under 12. Sure, South By Southwest gets all the attention, but we say there’s no better way to spend time in Austin than at an ice cream party.
