As the sun sets, Fiesta Gardens will transform to After Dark at Austin’s Ice Cream Festival, a trendy party with headlining live music from Lee Fields & the Expressions, Tameca Jones and DJ Mel, frozen treat vendors, boozy frosty drinks and Austin’s favorite food trucks.

    Contests and the “Best of ATX” Frozen Treats

    The Austin Ice Cream Festival will crown the 2018 “Best Frozen Treat of Austin” among frozen treat companies participating in the event. Participating companies will submit a flavor into the contest to be judged by a panel of celebrity judges at the Austin Ice Cream Festival. Festival goers will put their taste buds to the test as they sample from each of the festival frozen treat vendors, then vote on their “Fan Favorite.” Winners of the “Fan Favorite” and “Celebrity Judged Category” will be named the “Best of ATX Frozen Treat” and receive a commemorative Austin IceCream Festival spoon trophy and eternal bragging rights.

    Attendees will fight off inevitable brain freeze with a series of ice cream eating contests. There will be multiple divisions – the Half Gallon Challenge, Full Pint, Half-Pint for the kids and more. Information on these contests can be found in the coming weeks online at www.austinicecreamfestival.com.

    Daytime attendees won’t be the only ones taking part in friendly competitions. After Dark attendees (over 21) will vote on their favorite boozy frosty beverage in the Milkshake Throwdown contest. Local bartenders will go head-to-head to create the tastiest frozen treat inspired cocktails from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. After Dark will also feature its own ice cream eating contest for guests to enjoy.
