Ice Cream Days Is The Biggest Ice Cream Festival In Iowa

Iowans are an optimistic bunch, and so we can all rally behind the idea that at some point in 2018, warm weather will arrive. Sure, it snowed this past weekend and towns all across the Hawkeye State have been breaking April low temperature records, but something’s gotta give, right?

When that warm weather finally comes around, we’ll be ready for it. Every year in early June, Iowans flock to the Ice Cream Capital of the world to celebrate Iowa’s Ice Cream Days.

Most Iowans know that Le Mars is the Ice Cream Capital of the world, thanks to Blue Bunny being headquartered there.
