National Ice Cream Day St. Louis

To celebrate National Ice Cream Day in St. Louis on Sunday, July 21st, you have many sweet options. Local ice creameries are offering a variety of fun-filled events. In 1904, the St. Louis World’s Fair became the birthplace of the beloved ice cream cone. When a vendor ran out of dishes, a neighboring waffle seller rolled his waffles into cones, creating an iconic dessert that has delighted generations ever since. Find a place to celebrate in your neighborhood, or pick up a pint and enjoy at home!
