4th Annual Scoop San Diego Ice Cream Festival

A San Diego original, the nonprofit Scoop San Diego’s sole purpose is to bring ice cream lovers and makers together for a good cause — what could be better than that?

Featuring more than 25 local ice cream and gelato shops sampling their delicious creations, this one-day festival invites attendees to taste the day away with longtime favorites and new flavors from purveyors including MooTime Creamery, Baked Bear, Holy Paleta, Gelati & Peccati, and more from 11am to 4pm. This year, an exclusive VIP lounge has been added to the day’s festivities, where guests can meet the creators of their favorite chilly treats and try unique flavors made especially for the festival.

Alpha Project, a nonprofit that serves San Diego’s homeless and works to break the cycle of housing insecurity, is Scoop San Diego’s 2022 beneficiary and will receive 100 percent of the day’s net proceeds.
