Brenham Ice Cream Festival
Brenham, Texas
When: early May
Where: The courthouse
square in downtown Brenham.
Nothing captures the essence of a lazy Lone
Star summer afternoon quite like a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream.
Proclaimed "the best ice cream in the country," festival-goers
can savor the flavor of dairy delights ranging from classic vanilla
to modern Moo-llenium Crunch in the small town of Brenham, the birthplace
of Blue Bell ice cream, which each year celebrates the tasty treat
with a day-long festival.
The turn-of-the-century architecture along
Brenham's courthouse square offers a nostalgic picture postcard
background as visitors browse among the arts and crafts displayed
on vendor stalls and strolling musicians provide a soundtrack for
the festival's activities. As mothers wipe off the tell-tale traces
of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough from the smiling faces of their children
before they take the stage in the Little Mr. and Miss Scoop pageant,
locals cheer on the participants of the ice cream-eating contest.
After hours of ice-cream-themed entertainment, an evening street
dance is a delightful topping to a fun-filled day.
