This year’s Ice Cream Festival promises to be better and cooler than last year’s festival, which sold out within six hours after tickets were released.
Ice cream enthusiasts should expect tickets to be gone just as fast this year, so it’s best to be first in line when organisers release tickets on Tuesday 13 February at 10:00 a.m.
Ticket distribution starts Tuesday 13 February 2018
Where:
Peters Ice Cream Factory
97 Boundary Street, West End
There will be three session times for the festival, starting 11:00 a.m.
Just like last year, only 6,000 tickets will be made available due to logistic considerations. Tickets are free and will grant the holder entry to the event. Guests can then purchase ice cream delights from the vendors at the event.
New Frozen Creations
This year’s Ice Cream Festival promises to be the coolest event yet as top ice cream makers across the country gather at the event to feature frozen treats never before seen in Brisbane.
There a dozen reasons to drool over the cool treats at the event. Think sweet treats created by Ruby the Little Red Ice Cream Van, taking inspiration from the ‘Stranger Things’ TV series. Chop Chop Chang will be concocting a Golden Gaytime bao. There will also be cannoli stuffed with pistachio gelato courtesy of La Macelleria.
Vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free sweet treats will also be available at the festival for those with specific dietary needs.
The countdown continues. Registration starts on March 1. Hurry, slots are limited!
Brisbane’s first ice cream festival is fast approaching, and ice cream lovers are eagerly counting the days until Saturday, March 11.
Widely regarded as Brisbane’s foodie precinct, West End will soon become a mecca for ice cream aficionados of all ages, as they all flock towards the historic Peters Ice Cream Factory on 97 Boundary Street.
Go for that ultimate sweet fix, as the coolest vendors in town try to top each other. Wait until you see what they have in store for you at their pop-up stalls:
And if you’re feeling adventurous, try the Bundaberg Ginger Beer Sorbet from Minus32.
Do you think that’s all? Think again. As if things aren’t going to get exciting enough, Hit105 will be playing some live music. And don’t forget to try the Ice Cream Burgers, a Brisbane Ice Cream Festival exclusive from Red Hook.
Here’s the deal. The Brisbane Ice Cream Festival’s Facebook event page has been swamped. 35,000 people “interested”. 8,700 “going”. You read that right. Thousands are visiting West End! What can we say, Brisbane REALLY loves her ice cream.
So, heads-up for the registration mechanics.
Entry is free. Ticket registration will open at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 1. There will be three registration sessions: 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Each session has a registration cap of 1,800 tickets. There is a maximum of five tickets per person.
The festival organizers have announced that there is limited street parking and no on-site parking. Visitors are urged to take Translink’s bus and train service to the festival grounds. A special tie-up with Uberwill give festival goers $20 off their first ride, with a dedicated pick-up and drop-off service at Boundary Street. Uber users should key in the promo code JUSTFORLICKS to avail of the promotion. The festival is not a dog-friendly event, so it’s best to leave your pets at home.
