HUB Ice Cream Parlor

Santa will be setting up shop in his festive Winter Wonderland at HUB Ice Cream Parlor over the next two weekends, wrapping up on Sunday, December 18. Stop by Friday and Saturday from 4 – 6:30 p.m. or Sunday from 12 – 4 p.m. to enjoy free holiday cookies and visits with Santa.

Santa’s Ice Cream Sleigh will also be parked outside dishing out festive flavors like Candy Cane, Red Velvet, Honey Ginger Matcha, Brandied Egg Nog, and Lemon Bar.
