This is the 40th anniversary of the world's largest all-you-can-eat ice cream festival. Dozens of flavors will be available to try from favorite brands like Ben & Jerry's, Hood, Alec's Ice Cream and Bliss Microcreamery. There will also be non-dairy and plant-based offerings available.
The festival will run from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

And for those over 21, there's Scoop at Night on Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets include unlimited ice cream, live entertainment and games, plus two drink tickets.
Since the Scooper Bowl first began, it's raised more than $7 million for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
