Why should I go?

Where else can you eat unlimited ice cream and help fight cancer at the same time?

The Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl isn't just any food festival-it is the nation's largest all-you-can-eat ice cream festival, dating back to 1983. With dozens of ice cream flavors, live music, games, and a mission that matters, this is a summer must-do.

There's plenty of ice cream on offer, courtesy of local brands like Brigham's, Gracie's, Friendly's, and Holy Cow, as well as national favorites like Ben & Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs, and Tillamook Creamery.

A partnership between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund, the event has raised over $7.5 million since its start to support cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a cancer treatment and research center in Boston. The Jimmy Fund aims to raise money for cancer research and care. Every cone, cup, and sprinkle you enjoy helps make a difference for patients and families facing cancer.

Spanning three days, the Scooperbowl event offers all-you-can-eat ice cream as well as other frozen treats and live entertainment. Don't forget about Scoop at Night, a 21+ event that offers two drink tickets. And, prefer a calmer environment? There's Sensory Friendly Hour on Wednesday, June 4, that features a music-free, smaller crowd version of the event.
