For the third year in a row, West End is hosting another Brisbane Ice Cream Festival at the Peters Ice Cream Factory. This time, however, the special event is raising the bar since it’s happening for two days, with an Ice Cream Festival Up Late to boot.
On the 23rd and 24th of March, head to Boundary Street by 11:00 a.m. to get dibs on the finest ice creams in Brisbane. There will be plenty of cones, gelati, and popsicles for everyone since the vendors are prepared to serve guests until 5:00 p.m.
Aside from the daytime weekend romp, there will also be an Up Late event for the cooler big kids. This party is all about enjoying ice cream and booze together, along with cocktails, canapés, and casseroles. Up Late happens on Friday, the 22nd of March, at 7:30 p.m. at The Deck WV.
The following night is reserved for the Chef’s Playground at The Bromley Room on Peters Ice Cream Factory. Renowned chefs like Philip Johnson, Paul McGivern, Ben Williamson, and Dominique Rizzo will be demonstrating how they prepare and create sumptuous and stunning desserts.
Around 17 ice cream brands are joining this year’s festivities, such as:
- Doughy Cookie Dough
- Gelato Messina
- Summer Land Camels
- Ungermann Brothers
- La Macelleria
- Frozen Sunshine
Vendors of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan ice creams will also be available for guests with special diet needs.
Brisbane Ice Cream Festival is a ticket-only event. Reservations have been opened since the 1st of March.
