This Boston all you can eat ice cream party may be as popular as the Boston Tea Party. Now held at City Hall Plaza, look for it each June as an unofficial beginning of summer.
The event serves up ice cream from 11 of the nation’s leading ice cream companies while raising money for the Jimmy Fund, which supports cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The Scooper Bowl has grown into the world’s biggest all-you-can-eat ice cream festival - with 30,000-plus annual attendees, live music, and volunteers from the industry’s largest companies on hand at Boston’s City Hall Plaza to serve up ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet over three days each June.
For more information, call (800) 52-JIMMY or visit www.jimmyfund.org or www.scooperbowl.org.
History:
The ice cream festival has been in Boston since the early '80s. Initially, it was held on Boston Common as part of the annual New England Dairy Festival. For just $1, visitors could enjoy as much ice cream as they wanted. The five original sponsors, Brigham's, Baileys, Emack & Bolio, and Hendries, scooped their wares and raised $1,000 for the Jimmy Fund. The Scooper Bowl event has grown ever since, and now raises more than $1 million dollars each year.
