With the summer sun beating down on the sidewalks, creating an easy excuse to stay indoors, National Ice Cream Day couldn’t have been timed more perfectly.
While there are plenty of ways you can celebrate the national holiday on Sunday, July 21, a few places in town have stepped up with special events or deals to cool you down.
So, check out this chilling list if you’d like to try something new or attend an event honoring the flurry treat.
