Where Ice Cream Happens

The Scoop Ice Cream Festivals are the core of Southern California’s ice cream and gelato scene, powered by the desire to positively impact our communities. A homegrown and entirely original event, the festival began in San Diego as the place for the ice cream community to show up, show off and do some good — and is now expanding to Palm Springs!

Each year, the Scoop Ice Cream Festivals benefit a different local non-profit, with a mission to support under-resourced communities in Southern California — and have fun doing it. The events bring together dozens of the area’s top ice cream and gelato vendors with thousands of sweet-toothed attendees for a great cause and a great time.
