Meteorologists are predicting that it’s going to be around 95 degrees on Saturday, and that’s before the humidity makes things that much more miserable. We can think of no better way to make the most of this situation than by attending an ice cream festival.

The event will have family-fun live music, a tallest ice cream cone competition and more.
